[0.13.1] Aborted (Core Dumped) on Startup on Linux
Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2021 8:04 am
Hello, I'm having trouble running Daggerfall Unity on my EndeavorOS install and am not quite sure what is happening, but trying to run the Daggerfall Unity x86_64 binary on my Linux (EndeavorOS, Arch-based) install leads to an "Aborted (Core Dumped)" message. I can't figure out what the cause is, as there are no --verbose options to give more info than that, and I'm not sure if there's something missing.
However, sometimes it does work, specifically when I feed it a command option. I don't think it matters what I feed it, but for some reason, when I give the binary "--help", it starts up and runs just fine. But only sometimes. Typically this works the first 2 or 3 times, but then after that, it won't work until I've restarted my computer.
As you can see:
I thought perhaps this was an issue with the 0.13.1 pre-release, however, I have confirmed that the binaries display this same behavior on previous versions, including the 0.12.X series. They all work just fine on my Windows machine.
I was unsure what the issue could be; I wanted to know if there were some libraries that Unity games need that perhaps aren't installed?
Some more info about my machine:
Dell Optiplex 7010 DT (no modifications, except an additional wireless NIC)
https://www.hardware-corner.net/desktop ... x-7010-DT/
Endeavor OS (Arch-based) 64-bit Linux, 5.10 Kernel
The file system is Btrfs, if that matters. This is the first time I've used it so even that is a factor I would consider.
Using Budgie Desktop on top of X window system.
Logs attached.
