Crash on start due to Soundmanager

tuk0z · November 19

Hi all,

In short:

Game segfaulted after I updated openal to 1.24.0 yesterday. It works just fine after downgrading openal to 1.23.1. No chicken were harmed.

- Software: Arch linux ; 0ad a26-17 ; 0ad-data a26-2
- Hardware: Intel Core i3 ; Nvidia GT 1030 (fanless)

Some more details:

With openal-1.24.0:

Hi!

According to:

[E] pw.loop [loop.c:69 pw_loop_new()] 0x60457b6edb60: can't make support.system handle: No such file or directory
[ALSOFT] (EE) Failed to create PipeWire event thread loop (errno: 2)

It seems like an OpenAL or the system problem. We can make a workaround to disable sounds for that case. Did you try any other game/software using OpenAL with the new version?

tuk0z · November 19

I didn't try another yet but I could give Endless-Sky a go, as it depends on it too.

Note that sound in 0 AD works perfectly fine to me with openal-1.23.1

AInur · November 19

0ad crashes whenever I try to start it. This became persistent and appeared suddenly.

This log suggests Soundmanager.cpp is causing an issue. The sound system on my device is working.

interestinglog.html is empty

mainglog.html only loaded some autociv config strings, nothing of interest.

I could play the game by using an appimage build, but ideally we can fix the main installation.

**hyperion** · November 19

Quick check:

alcGetString(nullptr, ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER) returns nullptr or at least a char* starting with "\0" in 1.24.0

It's only used for printing the device name into a logfile. Making the follow up code expecting non NULL segfault. Skipping that part the sound works just fine, as it's only used for printing the device name into a logfile.

What exactly should I do to fix it?

The great find!

Same problem happens for 0 A.D. as provided by Debian/unstable since the most recent OpenAL update. cc @vv221

I can confirm that on a system that uses ALSA, without PipeWire nor PulseAudio.

tuk0z · November 22

For the non dev people, please does #7234 means the fix has already been found, 0 A.D. code updated and the next 'dev' / stable version will probably work just fine with openal-1.24+?

Just FYI Jesse tested various games with the updated openal on Arch; results here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2209310#p2209310

**hyperion** · November 22

@tuk0z,

yes the bug was fixed with https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/commit/bb1910ff4c696502d3d518a0cd36c7bd2795554f, distribution maintainers or anyone building a26 from source can cherry-pick that commit to support >=openal-1.24.0. The next release will include the fix.

building a26 from source

Where can I find the fixed and buildable source code for A26? (I've tried to build the released zips and it throws error after error)
Are the build steps identical to the A27 under development?

**Stan`** · November 22

From https://releases.wildfiregames.com/ you can get the tarballs.

Not it's not the same procedure. You only have to run update workspaces.sh on linux and then make

AInur · November 22

I'm building the release version A27 and I see the fix has already been applied there 3 days ago by sera. This is the fixed SoundManager.cpp:

	const ALCchar* devices = nullptr;
	if (alcIsExtensionPresent(nullptr, "ALC_ENUMERATION_EXT") == AL_TRUE)
	{
		if (alcIsExtensionPresent(nullptr, "ALC_ENUMERATE_ALL_EXT") == AL_TRUE)
			devices = alcGetString(nullptr, ALC_ALL_DEVICES_SPECIFIER);
		else
			devices = alcGetString(nullptr, ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER);
	}

But after I build this successfully, identical error is produced.

Can we do a try exception to skip this?

There is no release version of a27, I suppose you mean main branch. If an identical error is printed you either didn't build what you thought you did or didn't run what you built. This exact error message does no longer exist in main.

Building a26 at this point from a checkout is non trivial, I suggest to inform the maintainer for the package for your distribution (usually bug report) and if you want to have a go at it yourself use the package build scripts, which have all prior fixes, and the package build tools of your distribution to create an installable package instead.

You can't catch a segfault.

A fix is now included for Debian sid, and will be part of the next upload.

I don’t think there is any such version of the source code (A26 + OpenAL 1.24 fix), nor that it would be planned.

tuk0z · November 26

@hyperion and @vv221 indeed this problem is solved with 0ad a26-18 and openal 1.24.0-1 (both updated from the extra repository) on Arch Linux.

Nice job, 0 A.D. community
