Hi

Got steam installed on debian stretch. Ldd tells me that all libraries are in place, but when program is started, I just see a white window with black and white toolbars, with a blinking smaller window on top with leadwerks logo etc.

Unable to click on anything.

 

Using Nvidia gtx960 with proprietary drivers installed.

 

Could it be that it hates my awesome window manager or something?

Hi again.

Installed xfce4, gave the box a reboot and logged into my shiny new xfce4 desktop manager and everything worked as expected.

 

So I guess its solved. But logging out from everything Im doing, and in to xfce4 desktop just to run leadwerks will get cumbersome...

 

Anyone got some good advice on how to get Leadwerks running on awesomewm? Problems like these are extremely rare, so I guess they are easily fixable? :)

As far i known the LE dosent support a WM engines...even if its a Lightting or awesomeWM ))

So the solution is to use any outher DE of your choise and not on WMs )

Seems to work fine, for the most part, in Fluxbox. The project manager and other windows that are static size need to be maximised in order to interact with them.

 

The main issue that I have faced is the model editor is broken. Models are patchy and save in a patched state and there seems to be no fix in sight. sad.png

 

Using Debian Jessie GNU/Linux.

I ran Leadwerks in Bunsenlabs sometime ago. But it uses Openbox, I believe. There were just some minor visual flaws with it. Like missing button graphics etc. I could still click the text label though, so it wasn't a big issue.

Ubuntu 14.04 / 64bit. Dell XPS430, Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.50GHz, 4Gb Ram, Radeon HD 6670, Leadwerks Pro edition (Steam).

Hi guys.

Just faced with problem this morning. LE fails start.

 

So I went to folder: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Leadwerks and run ./Leadwerks.sh

 

Got this error.

 

./Leadwerks: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

A bit googling and found solution here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/356605/ubuntu-64-bit-machinarium-error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libgtk-x11-2-0

 

 

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

 

 

ldconfig -p | grep gtk and I have my library.

 

Try again. Similar arror for openal. Try to install:

 

 

sudo apt-get install libopenal-dev:i386

 

Seems it worked. But. Try to run again. And...

 

 

 

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pantheon-filechooser-module"

 

(Leadwerks:7935): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

 

(Leadwerks:7935): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

 

(Leadwerks:7935): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

[s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; no appID found.

Either launch the game from Steam, or put the file steam_appid.txt containing the correct appID in your game folder.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

 

Do you have any idea what is wrong?

Yesterday everything worked just fine.

 

P.S. Running from steam app just show loading title and application just disappear.

Ok, message

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

 

fixed with

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386

 

But it did not help.

 

And there appeared another error:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pantheon-filechooser-module"

 

Went through steps here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/684169/gtk-message-failed-to-load-module-pantheon-filechooser-module

 

Message disappeared, but (segmentation fault) message still there.

 

As well, added steam_appid.txt to the folder. Seems like LE fails on (or after) loading probe.shader.

 

 

... a lot of lines with initial staff and Gtk warnings ...

Loading shader "~/Documents/Leadwerks/Projects/tutors/Shaders/Model/Shadow/shadow.shader"...

Loading shader "~/Documents/Leadwerks/Projects/tutors/Shaders/Lighting/pointlight.shader"...

Loading shader "~/Documents/Leadwerks/Projects/tutors/Shaders/Lighting/spotlight.shader"...

Loading shader "~/Documents/Leadwerks/Projects/tutors/Shaders/Lighting/probe.shader"...

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

 

 

Any idea?

 

P.S. Btw, I have Elementary OS Freya.

Since something happened when loading "Loading shader "~/Documents/Leadwerks/Projects/tutors/Shaders/Lighting/probe.shader"..." or something in "tutrors" prject. I have tried to move this project outside Projects folder. And LE starts ok.

 

And it is not fun. What would be if I had this project for a while?

I think developers should pay attention on it.

Moved my project back, and "Project Manager" does not see this project.

But at least LE started.

You can always switch back to version 4.4 in the Steam application settings.

Ill tried this ... the result was the same..
I also tried the steam client from official website .. but there was a small issues with some depends pkgs and the client crash..
the next move was to install it from deb-repository and its work fine.. and start perfectly the game i have on it.. but not the LE

Okay, the fix is now available on the beta branch. Enjoy. :D

Confirm!! about 4:30 of this morning its updated!! everything works fine!

BTW.. after of today experiment with testing of NVIDIA's new videodriver from official website ill crashed the X.org xserver :unsure:

so... the reconfiguring of entire system helps to make working the LE on Debian-9 !! and ill think that problem is SOLVED!

thanks again for quick response Josh! :)

Yeah, that was a bit scary for a while but after everything it seems LE is very nice and stable on the latest Linux versions, and the installation process has gotten better.

My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
