AK 2.0.0 crashes on startup on Xubuntu 20.04 64bits

[cpcitor]

Hi Arkos!

You have found a bug? Please check first that is was not previously reported here.

Not found similar bug report.

We also need to know:
– What machine you are using (what OS, what version).

Xubuntu 20.04 64bits, up-to-date.

– A detailed procedure for us to reproduce the bug.

Download from http://www.julien-nevo.com/arkostracker/release/linux64/Arkos%20Tracker%202%20Linux64.zip . Unzip. Launch from command line, either cd then ./ArkosTracker2 or add /full/path/to/ArkosTracker2 to PATH, same result.

Expected: can use program.

Observed: window appears in a flash, terminal says:

Hmm, used backticks to quote code as this forum software offers, looks like code got jumbled. Also, tried link to edit my post, goes to another post not in edit mode.

Thanks.

[Targhan]

Wow, thanks. However, it is going difficult to correct… Unless I install the same OS. I’ll see what I can do, but I don’t promise anything…!

[garvalf]

I’m using up-to-date Linux Mint which is using a similar basis as Xubuntu 20.04, and Arkos 2.0.0 is working fine here.

Try this:
ldd ArkosTracker2

to check if there are some dependencies problem (even though the resulting error should be different)

Have you tried to run the 32 bit version as a workaround?

[cpcitor]

Thanks @garvalf for your reply.

Ah, binaries are not static, they depend on local libraries, and since this was not installed as a Debian package, there’s no way the system can automatically tell which packages are needed. I could do guesswork and install 32bit libraries, as a temporary workaround.

Have you tried the 32bit version?

[cpcitor]

> Wow, thanks. However, it is going difficult to correct… Unless I install the same OS.

Should be reproducible in a VM. I tried and… “./ArkosTracker2: No such file or directory” while the executable is in the current directory, with proper execution permission.

And no /home/<username>/.config/ArkosTracker2/crashlog.txt

> I’ll see what I can do, but I don’t promise anything…!

You’re welcome.

Also, thank you for considering open-sourcing the tools. When this software becomes open-source, it might be easier to provide more precise feedback, perhaps even a pull request on your public code repository.

Following http://www.julien-nevo.com/arkostracker/index.php/troubleshooting/ I tried

./ArkosTracker2 –useOpenGL 0

and it worked. I now have a workaround.

Besides, version 2.0.0a9 still works with or without this option in the very same computer, setup etc.

[Admin]

Are you implying that V2.0.0 is NOT working on your setup, but V2.0.0a9 does? I switched to Juce 6 for the V2.0.0 version…

[cpcitor]

> Are you implying that V2.0.0 is NOT working on your setup, but V2.0.0a9 does? I switched to Juce 6 for the V2.0.0 version…

Yes, I confirm what I wrote in the first bug report : “2.0.0a9 and others worked and still work.”

The switch to Juce6 might be related.

[cpcitor]

To be perfectly precise:

2.0.0a9, no arg : work
2.0.0a9, –useOpenGL 0 : work
2.0.0 final, no arg: crash
2.0.0 final, –useOpenGL 0 : work

[Admin]

Ok, thanks. Maybe I’ll revert in the next release, I don’t think I saw anything relevant in my use-cases.

[Targhan]

I’ve added two (new?) solutions to the troubleshooting page, in case cpcitor didn’t manage to make it work. Hope it will!

[cpcitor]

Hi Targhan, thanks for the reply.

Summary: bug practically solved.

Not sure I see any solution, none in section “The app crashed!” of https://www.julien-nevo.com/arkostracker/index.php/troubleshooting/ and other parts of the page mention “–useOpenGL 0”.

Anyway, tested again with 2.0.1 – 20/03/21:

“ArkosTracker2” works.
“ArkosTracker2 –useOpenGL 0” also works.
“ArkosTracker2 –useOpenGL 1” fails exactly like before.

Conclusion : the default just works, I consider the bug solved.

Cheers!

[Targhan]

I was actually referring to the top of the new (and first) section about crashes in Linux. It seems you are missing a dependency. Another person had an “not so different” stacktrace, but under Mint 20.1, and by installing at least one of the three dependencies in the troubleshooting section, it worked. I also reproduced that in a VM.

The default is actually “opengl 1”. It became a default because to switched it to 0 :).

If it still doesn’t work, I’ll investigate further, and install a VM of your distro.

Crash mentions libpthread.so.0 libstdc++.so.6 and libc.so.6 which are basic dependencies and installed.

Notice that the *-dev packages are needed to compile programs, but “most certainly” not to run them. Unless you do run-time compilation, which I doubt.

> sudo apt-get -y install g++<br /><br />

The two br html tags are probably unwanted there.

>Notice that the *-dev packages are needed to compile programs, but “most certainly” not to run them.

Yet at least one was needed when I tried to run the program on a bare Mint 20.1.

>The two br html tags are probably unwanted there.
Thanks! Damn this WordPress editor… So clumsy to add simple code blocks!!!!
