Love2D does not run at all (ubuntu)

Post by papatomique »

I started using Love last year on my computer (fairly old repurposed linux server) running ubuntu 14.04 and it worked fine, then I upgraded it to ubuntu 18.04 today.
Now, when I try running love in terminal, it gives me this :

Code: Select all

dbus[6767]: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "path != NULL" failed in file ../../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 1362.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Abandon (core dumped)
I have tried reinstalling love using apt install love, did not seem to work.
Are there any solutions to fix this?

Preferably one that doesn't involve downgrading.

I am having that version too, also using the löve build from the repo (11.3).
No such error on my end, so whatever is wrong for you is not a bug in löve nor this version of ubuntu in general.
Although i have not upgraded since the install 2018, so they might have introduced new bugs along the way.
Anyway, i dont see why dbus should throw an error. Can you try some other programs? Preferable SDL games.
It would be odd if it only affects löve.
Edit: Correction, i am using the ppa for löve.

it's not the best solution

Check for driver updates for your graphics card maybe?
