[SOLVED] Milkytracker black screen using Nvidia gpu

trumpetrespas · 2022-08-29 07:02:13

When I launch Milkytracker all I get is a black screen, tried running in both full screen and windowed. Also tried running with -nosplash.

Downgrading my packages to the date 08/20/2022 fixed the issue, but I don't want to use outdated packages forever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and any feedback on my post as well. This is my first post so if I did something really stupid I apologize for it.

Milkytracker was last updated nov 2021, so the cause is probably an update to one of its dependencies.

Please post the log of the downgrade (look in /var/log/pacman.log ) .

It would also help if you upgraded again, ran milkytracker from terminal and post the output shown in the terminal .

Welcome to archlinux forums.

SDL2 uses a new version numbering scheme now which seems to have broken all packages based on it, e.g. pygame and milkytracker.

Please edit your post and use [ code ] tags (not quote tags) when posting output. This makes the output easier to read and provides a scroll box for long output.

I can not confirm this! Here Milkytracker launch and plays as good as always, but I don't use nvidia binary drivers. You may try to disable nvidia and try nouveau, but you have quite new graphic card and I don't know how good/bad your system may work. Maybe you also have Intel builtin GPU to test?

My output from terminal:

milkytracker 
Available Renderers: opengl opengles2 software 
Vendor     : nouveau

SDL: Renderer supports rendering to texture.
SDL: Using audio driver: pulseaudio
SDL: Buffer size = 2048 samples (requested 2048)

How many software is now broken because of nvidia's poor quality Linux drivers?

Everything else for me is working. I have an AMD GPU along side my Nvidia GPU, so I can't try it on an intel, but I might be able to force Milkytracker to use the AMD GPU (I'm not sure how though).

Lone_Wolf · 2022-08-30 10:28:05

milkytracker 1.03.00-3 just entered repos and the change log states it was rebuilt aginst sdl2 .

Run pacman -Syu and verify if that version works for you.

trumpetrespas · 2022-08-30 16:09:02

Unfortunately, I'm still getting a black screen.

I can confirm that it is indeed the new SDL2 is causing the problems on my system. I copied the libSDL2 from the downgraded version of my system then ran LD_PRELOAD=./libSDL2-2.0.so ./milkytracker, and it worked. I'll try and automate this somehow to see if I can install the package this way.

Are you sure you're on the latest version? Some mirrors need some time.

$ pacman -Qs milkytracker
local/milkytracker 1.03.00-3

If so, maybe reboot or rebuild the cache.

$ sudo ldconfig

Or reset the config:

mv ~/.config/milkytracker ~/.config/milkytracker-bak

When I updated everything Milkytracker updated as well (its currently at Milkytracker 1.03.00-3). I just tried running

sudo ldconfig

, and,

mv ~/.config/milkytracker ~/.config/milkytracker-bak

I also rebooted before doing any of this, and I still got a black screen.

That's weird.

Running

env SDL_RENDER_DRIVER=software milkytracker

does not work. But running

env __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 milkytracker

, works, but then everything in milkytracker looks very washed out.

NOTE: the same happens if I run

__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa  milkytracker

NOTE: running

 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa milkytracker

using the older sdl version still results in washed out colors.

Same results with GTX1660.
specific to nvidia GL / GLES renderer ?

Maniaxx · 2022-09-08 17:02:34

Try to compile latest master. There are quite some new commits. If that doesn't help post a bug report on Github.
https://github.com/milkytracker/MilkyTracker

trumpetrespas · 2022-09-08 18:32:38

I just built the latest master branch of Milkytracker and I still got the black screen. I'm going to write up that bug report right now.

Would this be a good time to mark this thread as closed?

Thank you for your time .

No, but you might want to edit the title to reflect the issue better.

It would be nice if you posted a link to the upstream bugreport so others can follow it.

Looks suspicious. Probing/enumeration might running wild. What's your desktop resolution? Wayland or X11?

What Laptop is this exactly?

trumpetrespas · 2022-09-09 19:23:19

I am using x11, my laptop is the Legion S7 15ACH6, and my resolution is 1920*1080.

NOTE:
the

SDL: Minimum window size set to 640x480.

changes with the resolution you set in milkytracker.

I just opened issue #6271 to libsdl-org/SDL.

yleberre · 2022-09-24 05:40:15

No more black window with milkytracker 1.03.00 and sdl2-git 2.24.0.r289.g8d2cb1555
sdl2-git can be installed from aur.

sdl2 release planned end of next month (see github libsdl-org/SDL #6263)

trumpetrespas · 2022-09-25 00:03:32

Installing sdl2-git from the aur worked for me too.

Would now be a good time to mark this post as solved?
