Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

Starting Rocks'n'Diamonds when redshift program is running causes R'n'D to crash.

If Redshift is running, starting R'n'D results in R'n'D crashing. I think it has something to do with a program called Redshift and/or KDE's Night Light. Because if I exit Redshift (?and/or wait long enough?) R'n'D goes back to working. (?TODO: better test this out?)

To hopefully help with debugging I ran R'n'D with something like

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/gdb --args "${RnDBasePath}${RnDVer}/rocksndiamonds" "--debug"

and pasted crash statements results from gdb and KWin Crash Handler in the attachment.

If the attachment happens to have something that shouldn't be on the Internet (like private personal data passwords, etc...) feel free to delete it, or ask me to remove it if I can.

odd, i also use redshift (1.12) and this has never been an issue for me. i'm on debian 12 with xfce 4.18

That sounds interesting (or strange, and should definitely not happen), and I would really like to try if I can reproduce this, but I don't know how!

I am using KDE here (using the currently latest stable Kubuntu 24.04.3 LTS with KDE Plasma Version 5.27.12, Kernel 6.8.0-90-generic and X11), so it should be possible to test this using a (hopefully) similar environment than yours.

Update: I have just installed some KDE app called "Redshift", but starting it from the KDE menu just does nothing. I found a tray icon called "redshift-gtk" where I can quit it, causing a pop-up message "Failed to run Redshift ... Could not connect to wayland display ...". So apparently this is a Wayland-only app.
