 |
|
Hi all, as per the thread title, the Tuxedo control center fails to start on my laptop. When I try to launch it, all I get is
| Code: | | Trace/breakpoint trap |
Similarly, in dmesg, I get a single line saying
| Code: | | [ 22.942709] traps: tuxedo-control-[3409] trap int3 ip:5615fe7b2abc sp:7ffc77e14a50 error:0 in tuxedo-control-center[5615fb089000+6462000] |
This happens with all three versions available in portage (2.1.8, 2.0.8-r1 and 2.0.2). Also, it happens with both versions of tuxedo-drivers available in portage (4.5.0 and 3.2.14).
I have no idea how to go about debugging this problem, also because I can't really get any info as to what causes it. I think, but I'm not really sure, that it started when I upgraded the kernel to the 6.6 tree. Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

OK, after testing with many different kernel versions, I can say it is not a kernel problem.
Anyway, can anyone explain me what the error means? I have no idea, and if at least I figured that out, maybe I could try something... |

| It means the program hit a debugger trap. These should never happen. What do you see if you run it under gdb and print a backtrace? Note that as this appears to be a prebuilt package (but still GPL-3? weird), you may not get much, if the original builder did not include debug symbols. |

which does not look promising. The annoying thing is that it used to work well, and I only realized today it had stopped working. There seems to be no bug open about it in bugzilla. Also, I'm afraid I wouldn't have much information to provide if I were to open one... |

| It looks like the first step will be to get proper debug symbols. As I noted above, this is unfortunately a prebuilt package, so it is not as simple as re-emerging it. However, since the license is stated as GPL-3, source should be available. Perhaps the prebuilt was picked because this package is very difficult to build. |

| It's one of those electron builds... I can try to build it from source locally and see where that leads me. |

| If Electron is involved, then I would pursue other options first. Does it print any messages before crashing? Can you make it more verbose? |

So, I couldn't get any info at all before the crash, so I got the source code and started checking it out. To make a long story short, it first spits out a truckload of complaints about package versions being no longer supported and/or deprecated, with functionality moved elsewhere, and then it refuses to build in node.js, giving a certain error. I traced that error to the fact that it has a hard dependency on legacy openssl libraries. Upon passing the openssl-legacy-provider option to node.js it finished the build, but then it crashes with
| Code: | | /home/paraw/tuxedo-control-center/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGTRAP |
Note that if I just run electron by itself, with node_modules/electron/dist/electron, after the initial help text I get pretty much the same error:
| Code: | Electron 13.6.9 - Build cross platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
Usage: electron [options] [path]
A path to an Electron app may be specified. It must be one of the following:
- index.js file.
- Folder containing a package.json file.
- Folder containing an index.js file.
- .html/.htm file.
- http://, https://, or file:// URL.
Options:
-i, --interactive Open a REPL to the main process.
-r, --require Module to preload (option can be repeated).
-v, --version Print the version.
-a, --abi Print the Node ABI version.
Trace/breakpoint trap |
At this point, this seems to be an electron problem, but I have no idea what is causing it, considering that, up to some time ago, it was working just fine. Amongst the outdated packages the project requests, there is electron version 13.6.9, which may be too old a version and maybe conflict with some updated system component.
I don't know whether I should contact the devs upstream and, in this case, what to tell them, literally... |

| If it crashes just trying to show its own usage message, perhaps it is broken enough that you can reproduce the crash in a "supported" Linux distribution. If so, then you could file a report that "On a cleanly installed Fedora NN, this tool crashes." That is both easier for them to test (they can just grab a Fedora install CD), and harder for them to refute as being that you did something "weird" with the Gentoo environment. In this regard, you are even better off if it crashes on a virtual machine booted from a Fedora LiveCD. |

It works for me
TUXEDO Book XP14 Gen12 with 11th Gen Intel i7-1165G7
Kernel 6.9.9 / but works with 6.6.32
Wayland
Plasma 6
the new Intel XE Gpu driver / but tcc works also with the i915 driver
app-laptop/tuxedo-drivers
app-laptop/tuxedo-control-center-bin
| Code: |
emerge -1 app-laptop/tuxedo-drivers
emerge -1 app-laptop/tuxedo-control-center-bin
modprobe tuxedo_io
modprobe tuxedo_keyboard
modprobe clevo_acpi
modprobe clevo_wmi
rc-service tccd start
|
The new Intel XE driver prevents the GPU frequency from being displayed in tcc. But with i915 everything works (for me). But the tcc is really badly programmed bloatware. |
