Retroarch menu unpredictably freezes and crashes on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 #5151

Open ceridwen opened 7 years ago

ceridwen commented 7 years ago

Description

After starting Retroarch from the command line, while navigating the menu, Retroarch will freeze within a couple of seconds to a few minutes after starting.

Expected behavior

The menu not to crash or freeze.

Actual behavior

The GUI may freeze or the window may go black. Sometimes after the GUI freezes or goes black, it will still respond to keyboard input because I can terminate it with Esc. Other times, neither Esc nor anything else does anything. Log output from a typical run with --verbose below. Sometimes it will leave behind a black window I have to kill with xkill after killing the retroarch process. The retroarch process doesn't always respond to SIGTERM.

I haven't been able to find a particular trigger. This happens without any cores installed and seems independent of cores or games. It happens with glui, xmb, and rgui.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Start retroarch.
  2. Wait for menu to freeze.

Bisect Results

This is the first time I've installed retroarch. If I find an older version that doesn't have the issue, I'll try to bisect.

@hunterk - this must be a similar issue i talked to you about that retroarch freezes when started, either menu does nothing or just black screen. but that was when i still used ubuntu-based, i have not been using ubuntu/debian about a month now.

RobLoach commented 7 years ago

If you resize the window, does it refresh the video?

ceridwen commented 7 years ago

Before the crash/freeze occurs, yes. Afterwards, if the window hasn't already gone black, resizing it will cause it to go black.

gouchi commented 3 months ago

@ceridwen Is still an issue ? You may try to make some test with Appimage package.

Otherwise, please this issue. Thank you.
