edotokyo commented 4 years ago

Flatpack install on Ubuntu 18.04 On Open Surge launch get the error message: Failed to create a 1278x720 display

Hello. Do you use Wayland?

What happens if you run: flatpak run org.opensurge2d.OpenSurge --windowed --resolution 2 What's the output of: flatpak info --show-permissions org.opensurge2d.OpenSurge

Since you're using Ubuntu, please let me know if you can run the Open Surge snap:

sudo snap install opensurge
snap run opensurge

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I use Xorg for compatibility reasons. The output of: flatpak info --show-permissions org.opensurge2d.OpenSurge is: [Context] shared=ipc; sockets=x11;pulseaudio; devices=dri;all; filesystems=xdg-download:ro; Nice, both flatpack and snap installs run now. Small issues: -when run on flatpack: Gtk-Message: 09:55:42.281: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" Gtk-Message: 09:55:42.282: Failed to load module "atk-bridge" Gtk-Message: 09:55:42.294: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" -when run on snap: (process:29024): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:43:18.291: Locale not supported by C library.

Gtk-Message: 09:43:18.337: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" Gtk-Message: 09:43:18.337: Failed to load module "gail" Gtk-Message: 09:43:18.337: Failed to load module "atk-bridge" Gtk-Message: 09:43:18.360: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" -On flatpack version, can't locate opensurge folder containing levels and sprites files. -On snap version, opensurge folder containing levels and sprites files installed in read-only root location: /snap/opensurge/10/usr/share/games/opensurge/ which makes modifications and editing impossible. N.B.: I checked the How to make a level tutorial. Nice wiki by the way:)

Thank you for the feedback.

Can you run the snap version with resolution x3? snap run opensurge --windowed --resolution 3 How about the flatpak version? flatpak run org.opensurge2d.OpenSurge --windowed --resolution 3

Can you run the game in fullscreen mode? (menu -> options -> fullscreen)

Regarding the opensurge folders for snap & flatpak: I have updated the How to make a level tutorial and linked the directories there for clarity. You can modify sprites, levels and more by placing your files on the read-write directories (e.g., when you save a level, it's saved on those). The read-write directories are specified on the project README.

Let me know if you have any difficulty.

Here are the results running snap and flatpack versions:

snap run opensurge --windowed --resolution 3 (process:25876): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:32:49.606: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Gtk-Message: 10:32:49.675: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" Gtk-Message: 10:32:49.675: Failed to load module "gail" Gtk-Message: 10:32:49.675: Failed to load module "atk-bridge" Gtk-Message: 10:32:49.698: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

flatpak run org.opensurge2d.OpenSurge --windowed --resolution 3 Gtk-Message: 10:33:36.231: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" Gtk-Message: 10:33:36.255: Failed to load module "atk-bridge" Gtk-Message: 10:33:36.362: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Fullscreen mode is running fine for both. Game also running for both. Transfered from read-only all /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.opensurge2d.OpenSurge/x86_64/stable/376de1e10ed256c43d4a5b57694ea21402b06289ba0a4fc2ad191f6adf7d6b0f/files/share/opensurge directories and files to read-write /home/shoyusha/.var/app/org.opensurge2d.OpenSurge/data/opensurge2d/opensurge and could successfully save modified level with modified sprite on the flatpack version. So far so good.

Glad to know it's working for you. If you simply run flatpak run org.opensurge2d.OpenSurge, the game should run just fine.

You don't need to transfer all read-only files to the read-write locations, as the game will read from (and write to) these places automatically. The read-write locations take precedence over the read-only ones. If you update the game and we change an asset (a sprite, a level, etc), you may not see the updated version. It's recommended that you use the read-write locations only for the files you need, never for all of them. So I suggest that you clean up the read-write folders, leaving only the files you need (the level editor will save the data to the read-write folders automatically). Did you have a problem with this?

It all seems to be working fine for you, but if you have any further questions, feel free to open an issue.
