Hi @donjwan88, this is a completely different issue (please look at the different error messages). But thanks anyways for the report, your issue will be fixed with https://github.com/armory3d/armory/pull/2488. For now it will work if you disable live patch and make sure that there aren't any unconnected reroute sockets in your node trees.

As for the original issue: there is a bit more information in https://forums.armory3d.org/t/help-opensuse/4878 (for reference), and someone else on the Discord server had exactly the same issue a few weeks ago.

Maybe related: https://github.com/armory3d/armory/issues/2478

Hi there , It seems to work with git version at least on Fedora . I could see on linux mint if someone needs to. https://github.com/armory3d/armory/wiki/gitversion Perhaps you will need to replace the pull origin master with pull origin main .

This issue comes from the March or April´s release . I always switch to git after a release , so I am not sure about the month .

Hope this helps .

Hi @jeffrds, thanks for your answer, I'm currently using manjaro linux, so I can't try the git version because everything works fine for me, but in the future, when I return to LMDE or linux mint, I'll try the way you described!

[jeffrds]

Hi @pozitigor1 , you´re welcome . But I think you need to forget this way as my last answer is not accurate . It happens that my git version was not updated since at least March , my mistake :)

As I told in my last message , it seems that there is a conflict between main and master on Kha repo when you use pull origin command .

So you have to forget my solution . I tried on both linux mint and fedora Kde with the last release , the git version and also the old release from March and April ... same error : Failed to load libXi.so Neither wayland nor X11 found.

I can not tell if the error is also on the armory February release as I can´t download prior to this date on itch.io . I´ve also put the binary linux Krom from my old git but it complains about different API versions between Kha and Krom .

On discord , there is also this error from an armorpaint user in April . So I tried to see if there is something wrong with ArmorPaint_09_linux64.zip but I can not even start the app on Fedora . I can use ArmorPaint 08 without issue though . I will try on linux mint later this week .

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this subject .

Hey @luboslenco, sorry for the ping.

Because this issue comes up a lot recently by different users, could it be that the Krom binary used on Linux is simply missing https://github.com/armory3d/armorcore/commit/2573559c91bb0e1594477ce9990ec5544ecf3735 ?

Or do you think this will be fixed by the full switch to Armorcore that seems to be in progress right now? Btw, it's awesome to see you working on this! :)

[luboslenco]

I believe it is already included. :( I guess this started happening after merging https://github.com/Kode/Kinc/pull/668. I pushed one fix at https://github.com/Kode/Kinc/pull/692 but it looks like some distros still have issues opening a window via x11.

So we need to compare the x11 code before the https://github.com/Kode/Kinc/pull/668, see what changed and push a fix into Kinc. The bad part is that some distros work, some don't.

The wayland backend is missing the kinc_wayland_display_init() function, once that is implemented we can enable wayland in armory as well.

Temporary workaround which should get rid of the Failed to load libXi.so error - in terminal run: sudo apt install libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev

[jeffrds]

Hello ,

Thanks for the update ! It works so you can use Krom for armory dev and Armorpaint 0.9 .

for those on Fedora you can run : sudo dnf install libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel libXcursor-devel libXi-devel

Must create the symbolic link, it is just a matter of library naming. ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXi.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXi.so ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXinerama.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXinerama.so ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrandr.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrandr.so ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXcursor.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXcursor.so

[luboslenco]

Should be ok now with https://github.com/Kode/Kinc/pull/710 and https://github.com/Kode/Kinc/pull/711 applied?

[pozitigor1]

idk, for now im using archlinux on my system, as soon as my system crashes, I'll install ubuntu or debian!

[pozitigor1]

He @luboslenco you made a mistake in the first debian package that needs to be installed, it is not called libxrand-dev, but libxrandr-dev. So the full code is: sudo apt install libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev

[luboslenco]

Edited, thanks. So you still need to install these packages with the latest armory?

[pozitigor1]

on debian linux I still need to install these packages

[pozitigor1]

OK, so now I could use armory on any distro that I choose, I'm closing the issue, thanks to everyone
