Crashes with Steam on ArchLinux (please help me track down the cause)

[nickguletskii]

Suspected cause

libstdc++ version incompatibility

Things to try

Try changing -std=c++11 to -std=c++0x in CMakeLists.txt, then ./clean and follow the compilation instructions.

Missing information

Please provide the output of the following commands:

ldd [PATH_TO_BOOST_SYSTEM_SO]

Cant this be because of steam being 32bit?

Im trying to get glxosd to compile but im missing dependencies to make it.

[nickguletskii]

It's possible. Unfortunately, I don't really have the time to write the scripts to compile all the dependencies for multiarch in Arch.

It seems that this also happens in 64 bit games with 64 bit Steam overlay though, so it could be something else entirely...

[knetor]

Ubuntu 14.10, compiled fine. glxosd --steam glxgears works fine. 64-bit steam games wont start at all with glxosd --steam %command%, 32-bit games start, but it does not show the fps nor core temps in those.

[nickguletskii]

Hello. Did you compile manually? You probably didn't compile the 32 bit version (no easy way to do it without the PPA).

Thanks for the quick answer. Yes, compiled manually, following the instructions on the github site. PPA would be fine. edit: found it... ill report in a few mins

[nickguletskii]

https://launchpad.net/~nickguletskii200/+archive/ubuntu/glxosd-experimental

This PPA contains Utopic packages that I haven't tested (I don't have Utopic installed yet). Could you please check if they work? I will copy them to the stable repository if they work.

https://nickguletskii.github.io/GLXOSD/dists/utopic/main/binary-amd64/Packages HttpError404 not able to read any ppa's unfortunately. all glx-osd related stuff cant be found via apt for me

[nickguletskii]

That's not the PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nickguletskii200/glxosd-experimental

And then just use the installation instructions on the website.

[knetor]

yes, my fault sorry. i wrongly followed the advice for 14.04. the experimental ppa installs fine. i will give it a try with steam now, could take a while.

[knetor]

I am quite new to this. When i put glxosd --steam %command% into the startup properties of robocraft it does not start at all. same with Kerbal runs fine, but still no fps info. i did glxosd --steam steam steam://rungameid/301520 which ran the game, did not view any info and produced this:

i had such before, i know i have to ld preload something, but this whole library thing is a pain in the butt for me, although i use linux quite a while. i hope this helps

edit: i read again, the librarys i meant are not necessary at all are they? am i just missing some glibc version?

[nickguletskii]

Yeah, I've heard about the ABI incompatibilities in Utopic... I will try rebuilding the packages, but it probably won't solve anything...

[knetor]

could this have something to do with me installing from ppa over the manually built version?

[nickguletskii]

Could be, you could try removing the installed files... But its probably the new glibc... I've heard that it's incompatible with older versions.

i removed all the apt packages and glxosd still works, so i am trying to get rid of it. is it enough to do "sudo rm /usr/local/bin/glxosd" or could there be some libraries interfering that i also have to delete?

[nickguletskii]

Yes. All installed files are listed in cmake_install.txt or something like that. It's located in the directory where you ran cmake.

Wow, wait with your rebuild. I cleanly removed the manually built version now, installed again from apt and the error messages are gone. now the described way of running steam games works too. i have the fps counter in robocraft. the font is a bit messy but it works fine. Thank you very much for your help and sorry for the trouble

edit: tested some more games, works with all of them. so this bug does not affect ubuntu 14.10. have a nice day.

[nickguletskii]

Thanks! You should now remove the experimental repository and add the normal repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nickguletskii200/glxosd

Just so that I don't accidentally break your package databases some day :)

I can reproduce this bug. I want to run GLXOSD with Cities:Skylines with following command: glxosd --steam steam steam://rungameid/255710

I get following error several times:

grep: /home/bmonkey/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: 
version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/lib/glxosd/libglxosd.so)

Running it with glxosd --steam %command% out of steam does not work either.

Can I build glxosd without lm_sensors being a dependency? I am not sure if It can be cross compiled with m32.

I am using Arch Linux 64bit, with the following AUR Package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/glxosd-git/

[lubosz]

When I run stream with glxosd --steam I cannot see my listed games. Steam wants me to create a new Steam folder, since it cannot find one.

I managed to install a 32bit version of glxosd, just needed to package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-glxosd-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libxnvctrl/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-lm_sensors/

Not sure if i run it correctly though, I get

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libglxosd-elfhacks.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libglxosd-glinject.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

When I try to run just steam.

[lubosz]

I think this is basically the problem why Steam cannot access the filesystem when run with glxosd:

$ grep GLIBCXX_3.4.20 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
Binary file /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 matches
$ grep GLIBCXX_3.4.20 /home/bmonkey/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
$ grep GLIBCXX_3.4.19 /home/bmonkey/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
Binary file /home/bmonkey/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 matches

[lubosz]

This hack fixes the issue for me:

$ mv /home/bmonkey/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.18 /home/bmonkey/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.18.old

$ ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 /home/bmonkey/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.18

[nickguletskii]

Possible cause: https://github.com/nickguletskii/GLXOSD/issues/24

[nickguletskii]

This issue is caused by the bundled libstdc++ binaries being older than the ones that GLXOSD was linked against. Please see the according FAQ entry.

If that is not the issue, please ask for this issue to be reopened.
