[gentoo-user] Gaming on gentoo

[Alan Ianson]

Hello list,

I am a gentoo newbie. I have installed gentoo about a month ago and have been busy since in my free time getting it up and running.

I have a problem with quakespasm, it segfaults on startup.. this is what I get..

***@irondust:/usr/share/games/quake$ quakespasm

I get the above with version 0.95.1 (installed from guru using the git version) and from 0.94.1 also from guru.

I am not sure why it segfaults or what I can do about that. I have built it with sdl and sdl2 and I get the same result.

I have run quakespasm on other distributions like debian, archlinux and slackware without issues so there may be something different about gentoo that I need to know about.

Any thoughts or ideas about how to get this working would be appreciated.

Just as a follow up on my own post.. ;)

I ran valgrind against quakespasm and it says this..

I'm not exactly sure what the above says/means. Are there gentoo packages I can install to get better info?

I'll keep at this and see what I can find. Any ideas/thoughts/help would be welcome. :)

Hi,

It seems that the game is a binary blob and requires some older libraries.
Have you installed some 32bit libraries. You can check what you need with
'ldd some_binary'. For 32bit libraries you might want to use 'abi_x86_32'
for the needed libraries or enable it globlly in make.conf and then
recompile everything.

I can test out quakespasm in the evening (for me) as I need to extract the
pak file to test it (as it exitied while trying to load it).

I appreciate that, please let us know how it goes for you.

I may have to disable use flags or something. I'm not sure exactly but if you have success with quakespasm (or darkplaces) can you post the output of "ldd quakespasm (or darkplaces)"? That might shed some light on why it fails here.

I just built ironwail (https://github.com/andrei-drexler/ironwail) and that runs fine here. Ironwail is a quakespasm fork, fairly recent I think.

Still, I like to get to the bottom of my issues with quakespasm and darkplaces if I can.

[Artur Tamm]

did you try to compile quakespasm yourself?

Yes, I emerged 0.94.1 and also the git version (0.95.1) using the quakespasm-9999.ebuild. Both of those are from the gentoo guru repository. I also built 0.95.1 myself from the tarball at the quakespasm sourceforge site but none of those will run for me here. I'm not sure why.

[Artur Tamm]

sourceforge tarball was a prebuilt binary (at least the one I downloaded).
I saw that the source code is here:
https://github.com/sezero/quakespasm/tree/master/Quake
The default Makefile might need some editing for a successful compilation.

I just grabbed the linux-64 archive from sourceforge. I have never run the prebuilt binaries before but I tried it just to see what would happen. The quakespasm-sdl2 segfaulted the same as my own build but the quakespasm (sdl I suppose?) does run here.

So that is something! I can run their sdl quakespasm but not my own built here.

That is better than nothing but I'd still like to hear about your experience. I'd be happy if I could build and run my own if I can figure out what the issue is.

Hi,

I finally had the time to test quakespasm. I tried both the binary from the
project as well as the version compiled by me from the project page on
github. After copying the binary into quake folder (GoG version) and making
symlinks to pak0.pak and pak1.pak (filesystem is case sensitive and the
software cannot handle it). It worked fine.

Here is the ldd output (don't know if it helps)

It does help. I can see that an sdl build is working for you so I will compare that with my own and see if anything is different.

My own quakespasm (sdl and sdl2) segfaulted, but I am able to run an sdl build provided by the project at sourceforge. Hmm. :)

I'm thinking I may need to -sdl and +sdl2 in the use flags, or maybe +sdl and -sdl2. I'll check that when I get a bit of free time.

Note that some programs will dynamically load libraries at runtime, in addition to being linked against them at build time. These don’t necessarily show up in ldd. (Qt is horrible about this) Enabling core dumps or running under a debugger might shed some light on what’s going on. If that doesn’t work easily then check the project documentation to see if they have a special debugging workflow. Some game engines require a very specific debugging setup for the output to make any sense.

One thing I notice that is different about Artur's setup and mine is that pulseaudio doesn't show up in his ldd output.

I am just configuring a desktop without pulseaudio and see if that works any better. I think pulseaudio is worthwhile but I'll try without it and see how it goes.

No problem.. :)

I have the same results without pulseaudio. Both quakespasm and darkplaces segfault on startup but ironwail runs ok.

I'm going to mess around here for a day or two without pulseaudio then put it back and put gdb to work and see if I can get a better idea of what the problem is. The solution will probably be easy if I can figure out what the issue is.

[Artur Tamm]

Hi,

I try to have a systemd and pulseaudio free setup ("religious" reasons).
When I need pulse I use apulse and otherwise everything else is compiled
with alsa flag. I wonder if the issue is related to graphics
drivers/libraries instead. D remember having segfaults with some other
linux ports whirh were caused by a missing library which did not show up (I
do not remember the name but something with ?t3c?) but I think it is now in
mesa. .If you figure out what opengl features are being used we could
compare glxinfo outputs.

So, I tested quakespasm on an ryzen 7 apu (2700u) with vega gpu (thinkpad
e485). I am using mesa drivers and a linux 6.0.8 kernel.

I also prefer OpenRC myself but I like pulseaudio. It doesn't replace alsa, it compliments it.

I normally have both alsa and pulseaudio once I have a desktop profile selected. It's worked well for me.

I don't think so but it might be. It really doesn't make sense does it? There is some detail in the works here. It is odd since I have never had a problem with quakespasm or darkplaces. I have always built them from source and they always run without any issues.

I also have issues with ioquake3. I can run a binary I built on slackware and it runs fine (here, on gentoo). When I try to build on gentoo the build fails. I haven't had a good look at that though, I'll leave that on the back burner and look at that another time.

I am going to build a quakespasm with debugging support and run it through gdb. I am no expert with any of this though, so I have to read up on how to do that. I hope that will provide an answer I can understand and work out.

I'll reply with anything I find and hopefully at some point I can move beyond this.

I was sporting a 6.1 kernel a couple days ago without any issues. :) I am running 5.15.80 now and am happy to stick with the defaults that the gentoo devs choose to go with most times.

***@irondust:~$

Everything there looks good to me. I have since built darkplaces and have a similar experience with that.

There must be some detail in the works that I am missing.

I appreciate your input.

Hello list,
I am a gentoo newbie. I have installed gentoo about a month ago and have
been busy since in my free time getting it up and running.
I have a problem with quakespasm, it segfaults on startup.. this is what I get..

I get the above with version 0.95.1 (installed from guru using the git
version) and from 0.94.1 also from guru.
I am not sure why it segfaults or what I can do about that. I have built
it with sdl and sdl2 and I get the same result.
I have run quakespasm on other distributions like debian, archlinux and
slackware without issues so there may be something different about gentoo
that I need to know about.
Any thoughts or ideas about how to get this working would be appreciated.

Here is my output (start the game and exit from menu right away). It seems
yours is failing at the audio initialisation stage. Could you try to
compile quakespasm without any audio support.

I disabled all the audio options in the makefile like this..

# Enable/Disable user directories support

### Enable/Disable SDL2

The above is the quakespasm executible from the project at sf.net running sdl, it seems to run fine. The quakespasm-sdl2 from sourceforge also segfaults at the same point as my own build. It is a mystery why that happens. I am going to get a debug version together soonish and run it through gdb and hopefully that will provide an answer. I haven't use gdb in a very long time so I need to read up on that and get back up to speed. The gentoo website has a page that explains that, so that'll help.

I'll post whatever I find out.

Out of curiosity: what is the purpose of those mails which simply full-quote
another mail, but have no visible reply from you? I’ve been noticing them
quite often of late. Am I missing somehting?
