Gideros Player don't work on Linux (ArchLinux) : Seg Fault

[MohamedLEGH]

Hello,
I tried Gideros on my computer (Lenovo Thinkpad x230 with ArchLinux).
I can start Gideros Studio, Texture Packer and Font Creator without any problems but I cannot run Gideros Player.

I tried with Wine and also to compile it.
If I try to run it inside Gideros Studio, nothing happens.
If I try to run it directly, I have the following (not really helpful) message
: [1] 22310 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./GiderosPlayer

Hi @MohamedLEGH, I suspect it may be due to OpenGL drivers, faulty or absent somehow. Can you try to get a stack trace ? since you compiled it you should be able to run it under QtCreator in debug mode (open player/player.pro).

[MohamedLEGH]

When I try to run the file (player/player_qt5.pro) with QtCreator (normal run) : I get the following messages :

15:13:12: Starting /home/mohamed0/Gideros/gideros/player/GiderosPlayer...
ANOM_ABEND auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=10 ses=2 pid=15049 comm="GiderosPlayer" exe="/home/mohamed0/Gideros/gideros/player/GiderosPlayer" sig=11 res=1
15:13:13: The program has unexpectedly finished.
15:13:13: The process was ended forcefully.
15:13:13: /home/mohamed0/Gideros/gideros/player/GiderosPlayer crashed.

When I try to run it in debug mode (with gdb), it told me that there is no debugging symbols (I'm sorry I'm a total noob with Qt Creator), do you know how and where I should add debugging symbols ?

By the way, this is the dessasembly of the program I get with the debug mode:

hope this help

You should have the 'start debug run' option (F5). It may not work right from the start though, because it will try to compile gideros, player but not support libs. you can copy the non qt .so files from normal build to debug build folder (pystring.so, gid.so, gideros.so,gvfs.so and lua.so) and start debug again once they are in place

[MohamedLEGH]

This is what I get when I run F5 (the compilation works fine, but running is not working at all)

[hgy29]

Can you try to click on the fourth icon from the bottom-left side and change it to Debug instead of Release ? Then run again in debug mode and you should have symbols.

[MohamedLEGH]

I don't have a debug mode :

I think on Linux Qt Creator doesn't generate a debug mode automatically.

I can create one manually but I still don't have the symbols

Maybe the compilation flags are not correct , this is the 2 commande to build and compile that I have :

qmake: qmake player_qt5.pro -spec linux-g++ CONFIG+=debug CONFIG+=qml_debug
Make: make -j4 in /home/mohamed0/Gideros/gideros/player

The build directory is gideros/player/

Hi, 2 years later and this problem still exists. Everything works except GiderosPlayer.
I tested building on different distros and the only one that works is MX Linux. (e.g Arch, PopOS and Fedora not working ).

I then debug tested with QtCreator and it works when i delete everything after MainWindowClass->setCentralWidget(centralWidget); in ui_mainwindow.h on line 278.

Basically everything related to the menubar.

[hgy29]

Yes, I am afraid very few of us use linux, so not much time spent on this side. I don't know about the distros you mentioned, but I can have another go on a Debian.

[rama0x9]

I think there a more linux users than u see, but not having a ready to go package of gideros make people boot to windows.
It would really help if you can manage to make a Flatpak of gideros for example.

[hgy29]

Hey, this is an old thread but there are some fresh news about Gideros on Linux: we now distribute packages that should run ok on Debian based linux at least. Tested working on latest Debian and Ubuntu.
