Retroarch linux (Debian 10) freeze

[benyamin39]

Hi,

I have compiled retroarch and the fbneo core following the indication in the docs section below

https://docs.libretro.com/development/retroarch/compilation/linux-and-bsd/

So far no problem at all and retroarch launch perfectly.

Yet the program will freeze if I go to Core Updater menu.

I have recompiled retroarch in debug mode and attached the dbg output (this is the first time I compile in debug mode and report an issue on github, so I may have missed some for in my reporting).

The computer is a Samsung RV420 with Debian 10 Live installed on the harddisk.

I have done the exact same install on a DELL laptop E4310 without any issue at all. So I believe this issue is hardware related.

Thx

Are you sure it's actually frozen and not just waiting for the cores list? That is, a network/server connectivity issue? If you hit backspace a few times, does the menu go crazy?

[benyamin39]

It is actually frozen. If I pass a window over the retroarch window it would backen the window like a paintbrush.

Key input does not work (backspace or esc)

Connectivity is ok (i can download assets, cheats,... Note that often the download stop and the program freeze the same way)

I think this is fixed.... Also, should likely live in the RA queue rather than libretro-super.
