  • Re: Netrunner

    netrunner crashes saying "Unable to initialize video"=20

    This is not your fault, the Netrunner binary looks for the libraries in the=
    wrong path.

    You can fix this with a command like:

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux= -gnu/libSDL2.so

    Long explanation:

    If you run Netrunner under a system call trace like:

    strace -vffttT -o strace.txt ./netrunner

    Then look in the "strace.txt" file, you will see it's trying to open "libSD= L2.so" under many different library paths, but it never finds SDL2 so it ca= n't start the graphical interface.

    If you list the contents of the SDL2 library package with:

    dpkg-query -L libsdl2-2.0-0

    You will see the library file is actually called "libSDL2-2.0.so.0" and not=
    "libSDL2.so" which Netrunner is looking for.

    So we make a symlink from the actual library filename to the filename which=
    Netrunner expects, and it works.

    Maybe Netrunner is built on an older Ubuntu (18.04 or earlier?) which had a=
    different filename for the SDL2 library.

    Any chance we can get a compiled version of Netrunner for the Mac M1/M2/M3 ?

    +1 for this. I'm using iCY Term right now on the Mac which works well enough but I'd be using Netrunner if is was available.

    What's missing on icy term? The ansi engine should be very complete.
    Any issues or is it just the style? Netrunner & icy term are different.

    Mike,

    Yes, though I was unable to install it... Others haven't had that problem.

    Sure - I'm developing on linux. However I'm not sure how to distribute that correctly. A .deb is available which works on my ubuntu based distros.

    But no flatpak so far. Distributing on linux is hard.

    Put it up on github and let people build it themselves. Then people who run Arch could make a pkgbuild for it and add it to the AUR =)

    .... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.
