Does not launch on Linux / Ubuntu

TylerW · November 16, 2015, 2:33pm

I just got invited to try Defold. I am on Ubuntu 15. Unfortunately it doesn’t launch. When I launch from commandline I get the following error.

ERROR: Resource type for extension ‘gui’ already registred (com.dynamo.cr.guied.resourcetypes.gui)

I second this one, but I’m on arch linux. I have both gtk and swt installed. Here are the log files:

I just realized Defold doesn’t support 64bit linux coming across this thread : Can’t open project (SOLVED) … Is this the problem?

TylerW · November 16, 2015, 6:14pm

I managed to get it working by adding the i386 versions of libswt-gtk-3-jni and libgtk2.0-0:i386

So
sudo apt-get install libswt-gtk-3-jni:i386
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

alialamine · November 16, 2015, 8:02pm

The gtk3 is not necessary, apparently they are using gtk2. And thanks for the tip.

But still, the 32-bit limitation is something to consider for a game engine, especially if a lot of 3D graphics are involved.

sicher · November 16, 2015, 9:56pm

Yes, the editor does not currently support 64 bit Linux but that is in the backlog.

Ragnar_Svensson · November 19, 2015, 5:42am

We are all ashamed that we don’t support 64-bit linux yet, sorry! It will however come at one point, we just need to clear a few things off the todo first.

vgerris · November 30, 2015, 8:08am

SolarPolarMan · March 8, 2016, 2:55pm

This solved it for me.

Crowgirl · March 19, 2016, 5:09pm

This is great, and finally the splashscreen appeared. But then I got an error that said it saved a log in /metadata/, but there was no log there and the application failed to launch. Kubuntu 14.10 LTS 64-bit

Fallendown · March 20, 2016, 11:34am

Same here, does not work on Fedora 23 either. None of the listed files are available for Fedora through it’s repositories. I was so excited when I heard about this, but this 32bit limitation sucks. Guess I’ll keep using Love2D until this is sorted out.

Nilton · March 20, 2016, 3:43pm

It’s so sad. I’ll have to wait some time

britzl · March 20, 2016, 5:49pm

Linux 64-bit support is actively worked on in our current sprint. I cannot guarantee that it will be included in our next release, but it’s likely.

Ragnar_Svensson · March 22, 2016, 9:44am

Hey!

The work on 64-bit support has been progressing really well so it will be released in the next stable, scheduled 2016-04-04 (in two weeks). However we have had some trouble making a 64-bit version of Android-bundling (aapt), but are looking at shipping the 32-bit version for now. So in order to bundle for Android, you would need to enable multi-architecture support. Otherwise when bundling for Android, it would tell you that aapt could not be found, i.e. no 64-bit support.

Since this is brand new platform support and linux is quite hard to test for because of distro/env diversity, we would love to get some help in doing this. So if you feel like helping out, we are looking to make an alpha version available for external testing this week. We would greatly appreciate it!

A note if you want to alpha test. We are releasing Defold in different channels, each channel checks for updates happening to that channel. This alpha version would be on a specific channel, that would be abandoned after the linux 64-bit support has been shipped into the stable channel (i.e. the regular download-link in the dashboard). This means there will be no more updates to that alpha version. In order to jump on to the stable version and receive updates, you would need to download that version from the regular download link. When you do, it’s important that you sync (File > Synchronize) your game projects so that you bring over the stuff you made while using the alpha version. Another option is obviously to dig out the files in the FS and move them manually. I feel like this is a terrible explanation of what’s going on, let me know if this paragraph made no sense at all.

sicher · March 22, 2016, 12:49pm

How do you sign up if you want to alpha test?

Ragnar_Svensson · March 22, 2016, 12:54pm

I didn’t really think that through yet. The easiest way is probably that we just post a DL link in this thread when it’s ready for testing.

lstep · March 22, 2016, 7:33pm

Count me in, I’ll alpha test with pleasure

jakob.pogulis · March 24, 2016, 10:46am

Hello everyone!

We just posted an announcement about the 64bit Linux support, check it out at Linux 64bit support - ready for alpha testing!!

Erik_Bystrom · March 24, 2016, 11:22am

If you’re having problems starting the alpha build of Defold on Ubuntu 64bit, you can try to add this line to configuration/config.ini

org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

@Erik_Bystrom, your correction works but I think it’s dangerous to modify an autogenerated file, I think it’s more correct to edit the Defold.ini file, and just add the following :

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

It worked for me.
