Greetings. When i run certain games on KDE, the DE crashes and i am sent back to the DM. Why is that?
The list of games that crash KDE:
Xonotic (sdl)
Cube 2
0 ad
Red Eclipse
Init system is OpenRC, if it helps.
Try starting from a terminal and logging the output to a file
eg:
xonotic-sdl > ~/xonotic.log
See if that sheds any light ?
For what it's worth xonotic just worked fine on KDE for me.
I'd redirect stderr as well for good measure:
xonotic-sdl >~/xonotic.log 2>&1
Okay, printed it out:
Client using an automatically assigned port
Client opened a socket on address 0.0.0.0:0
Client opened a socket on address [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0]:0
Linked against SDL version 2.0.12
Using SDL library version 2.0.20
GL_VENDOR: Intel
GL_RENDERER: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400 (HSW GT2)
GL_VERSION: 3.1 Mesa 22.0.2
vid.support.arb_multisample 1
vid.support.gl20shaders 1
NOTE: requested 1x AA, got 0x AA
Video Mode: fullscreen 1600x900x32x0.00hz
X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Thoughts?
Besides the fact that Artix doesn't maintain
xonotic, I have no idea. The only thing which looks suspicious here is this:
Artix uses
world/sdl2 2.0.20-2 (just like Arch), this game (packaged by Arch) looks like it is linked against an older version of SDL, which might cause problems. It might not work in Arch as well. I suggest looking in Arch forums and searching the web for a possible solution.
Just checked and it said that in the log I'd saved earlier and mine worked.
What I also have
I doubt it would be the sound crashing X.
Yours went down straight after
I strongly suspect there's an issue with your video drivers ?
What are you using ?
The "x0.00hz" is weird but the same for you and I.
