dosbox-x's Issues

No audio output.

There is no audio output.
Tested with wolfenstein 3D and "skunny kart".
Using --edge build

Regular non-snapped dosbox from ppa:i30817/dosbox-patched works fine with audio.

I use Linux Mint 19.1.

Might be because the games use midi?

You have not selected a valid path

What happened?

I had the DOSBox-X snap installed.
I attempted to launch DOSBox-X after hitting the "Windows" key, typed DOSBox-X, and pressed enter on the search entry that came up.
Nothing happened.
I did something else, and my hard drive eventually filled up with log spam.

/var/log/syslog contained the following spam:

Mar 12 20:00:33 jayschwa-desktop dosbox-x_dosbox-x.desktop[134923]: You have not selected a valid path. Do you want to run DOSBox-X with the current path as the DOSBo>
Mar 12 20:00:33 jayschwa-desktop dosbox-x_dosbox-x.desktop[134923]: DOSBox-X will exit if you select No.
Mar 12 20:00:33 jayschwa-desktop dosbox-x_dosbox-x.desktop[134923]: y/n:

Because this was happening thousands of times a second for awhile, my syslog ended up consuming hundreds of gigabytes.

What should have happened?

Preferably, the app should have launched. In lieu of that, a user-facing error message would have been nice. Not the log spam 😆

@popey I decided to have a look at the Snap package, to see how it compares to the Flatpak I made. And if I could perhaps add some contributions. But I immediately run into a problem. Namely, it does not start. Neither from the desktop by clicking on the icon or from the command line. The command line though gives at least a hint as to what is going on.

Any idea what may be causing this? I'm running Fedora 33 beta with Wayland.

Two other things I noticed.

It still uses the regular dosbox icon on the linux desktop, and not the dosbox-x icon. Please also note that there is a SVG icon available in dosbox-x under contrib/icons which should be used where possible.
Your using the SDL1 build apparently based on the above LOG messages, even though from the snapcract.yaml it seems like it should be SDL2?

Can not copy and paste to/from Linux clipboard

Config option "clip_key_modifier" does not exist.

Copy and paste work in v0.83.1 for Windows properly.

Fails to build

Looks like it needs to build using the supplied libsdl not from the repo.

Config file is not included.

HI there. The file dosbox-x-.conf file is not included, and configurations from the GUI won't save.
Only reason I went with the Snap package is because Dosbox-x is not packaged for Ubuntu.
I also tried to compile it from source which didn't work because there were missing libraries.

Crashes when enabling opengl

As per https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/dosbox-x-crashes-when-trying-to-use-opengl-output/11453/2

When switching from software to OpenGl output in dosbox-x (by going to Video->Output->OpenGL), it crashes.
The terminal output seems to suggest that it can’t find the appropriate libraries:

libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965

Add armhf support

When trying to snap install Dosbox-x, I got following error message:
snap "dosbox-x" is not available on stable for this architecture (armhf) but exists on other architectures (amd64, i386)

I'm running Linux Debian Buster (32bit) on a Raspberry Pi 3.

Is it possible to create a snap version for this platform?

[Bug]: "serial1=directserial realport:ttyS0" doesn't work

What happened?

/dev/ttyS0 couldn't be opened while the user running dosbox-x had read-write permisson.

What should have happened?

The "serial-port" plug should be configured in snapcraft.yaml.

Enable FluidSynth for MIDI support

use the SVG icon where possible. For instance the icon here https://snapcraft.io/dosbox-x has a white background (non-transparent).

Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

I'm trying to make DosBox-X to work with MUNT emulator for MT-32.

I have the following lines to my dosbox.conf

mpu401              = intelligent
mididevice          = default
midiconfig           = 128:0

When I start DosBox-X from command line I get the following errors:

ALSA lib conf.c:3916:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib seq.c:935:(snd_seq_open_noupdate) Unknown SEQ hw

Use icon, metainfo.xml and .desktop file as provided by dosbox-x

Update the screenshots on the snapcraft page

You can find some recent screenshots here: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/tree/master/contrib/linux

Changes requested

Hi,

I would like to ask for a few things to be changed for building the snap package. Such that the snap and flatpak experiences are more in-line with each other. fyi, I created the flatpak package.

#27
- This can be accomplished by simply changing from the "build" script to the "build-debug-sdl2" script. Note that "debug" here does NOT refer to adding debug code to dosbox-x itself, but rather to enable a debugger feature option that allows debugging DOS applications running in dosbox-x.
- In addition change references from SDL 1.2 to SDL2 in the yaml file to match
#28
- For the flatpak, I use FluidSynth v2 as it offers superior MIDI quality over v1.
#29
#30
- You can find some recent screenshots here: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/tree/master/contrib/linux
#31
- https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/tree/master/contrib/linux

A new dosbox-x release should be out around the 1st of the month, and I will be preparing some minor updates to the flatpak yaml for the next version. For instance, right now the flatpak page does not show any screenshots, but once the new build is done with the updated metainfo.xml, screenshots will be shown.

ne2000 doesn't work

ldd indicates not compiled with libpcap support? - version 0.83.1
