[SOLVED]Debian: Dolphin-emu Crashing (built from source)

[random0munky]

Tried searching and wasn't able to come up with anything that would pertain to my issue

I have dolphin-emu v4.0-1757 built from source

Running Linux Mint Debian Edition 201403

For some reason I'm getting this weird crashing behavior whenever I click on 'GCPad' to configure the controller or try and launch a game.

I'm not seeing anything in the ~.dolphin-emu/Logs directory or any entries in /var/log/messages

When I launch dolphin-emu from the command line, it just says: Aborted without any additional error messages.

I went in the Log configuration to increase the verbosity to warning and it still says: Aborted


Even went and purge-cache and still no dice.

Try unplugging any non-essential USB devices; could be a bug in SDL.

What's weird is that dolphin-emu was working just grand with libsdl2.0-dev. The only change I have done was do a git pull origin and roll backed my nvidia driver from v334.21 down to v331.79

Reinstalled libsdl2.0-dev. Rebuilt from source, removed usb gamepad, and still no luck.

can you execute dolphin with gdb attached?

gdb dolphin-emu

then when it crashes, type bt and hit enter
paste the output here

Hmm.

Entering gdb dolphin-emu brings me to this prompt:

Code:

random0munky@mintnas ~/Dolphin/dolphin-emu/build $ gdb dolphin-emu

(gdb)

Not quite sure if this is what is the expected output with that command.

Check your directory; if it's there and if all necessary files are there.

Thank you,

I have so far this info when running: gdb dolphin-emu

EDIT 1: Just wanted to put this out there that I'll be reverting back to the last revision that was committed on May 27, 2014. That build was the last known good build that worked for me. To be specific the SHA1: 3d21c6777eb78af05dac2a651dd591046a4852b4

I'll post an update / edit once I have reverted back to this build and compile.

EDIT 2: Seeing that there's new stable Nvidia Driver for Linux, I'll update my video card drivers first and test dolphin out. With dolphin-emu working before downgrading the Nvidia drivers, this might be a reasonable route to take before downgrading the dolphin-emu git revision

Thanks again for the great support you guys give

Well Solved the issue with dolphin-emu crashing on me. Turns out, Nvidia v331.79 was the culprit. Upgraded to the just release 337.25 and everything works perfectly. Thanks for the help everyone.

As a follow up, you type "run" after entering gdb. Glad it is fixed.
