Description storm16 2021-12-06 03:40:44 UTC

I have tried several times and several ways to run the GOG version of Kerbal Space Program on the Linuxulator. I have read the documentation several times and it feels like there are missing steps that are not in the documentation. I have tried the following:

* Installed the entirety of the linux-c7 packages and attempted to run the app, and the binary seems to hang in the terminal window, but the graphics never appear, and I am unable to ctrl-c out of it.

* Installed Ubuntu 20.04 in /compat/ubuntu, installed my username with the same UID/GID as my userid as on the FreeBSD side, and had the same behavior as with linux-c7.

* Installed Debian Bullseye, then converted it to Devuan Chimaera (to eliminate the issue of systemd) in /compat/devuan, set up user in the same way as ubuntu above. Same result.

I currently have /compat/linux (c7) and /compat/devuan.

I also set up an ubuntu jail as well as a devuan jail. On both of those, I installed Kerbal in the jail, when I try to run glxgears or the KSP binary, I get:

storm@brahms:/var/log$ glxgears
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 151 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 31
Current serial number in output stream: 32

I posted the jail issue to the forum, and apparently ssh X forwarding does not support 3d graphics through the tunnel.

Can 3d graphics be run through the linuxulator? If so, how can I get kerbal tp run? The Linux box I am running it on currently has a mobile i7, 16GB of RAM and Intel graphics. My FreeBSD box has a full i7, 32GB of RAM and an nVidia GTX780Ti.

That reads more like a support request than a bug report.

That would be bug #253337.

Actually, no, as I have already posted to the FreeBSD forums. I just wanted to provide as much information as possible on what I had done in the hopes that there was some hidden something that I had missed. 

Since I am relatively new to FreeBSD, and I am a sysadmin and not a coder, I had hoped that the developers might run across something based on my bug, especially since it also affects something like glxgears.

could you please ktrace/kdump it? i.e.,

ktrace -di /path/to/glxgears
and then
kdump -HAR -m 128 > glxgears.out
and see where it fails

^Triage: I'm sorry that this PR did not get addressed in a timely fashion.

By now, the version that it was created against is long out of support.
Please re-open if it is still a problem on a supported version.
