Arch Linux User Repository

Adding additional information regarding the "black screen" launch: I am running PoB through flatpak and I am also having the issue with it launching as just a black screen. See information below. I know I have had success with this launching ok in the past, and I also don't believe there's been any PoB updates since that successful launch and now.

System Information:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.9.9-arch1-1 WM: Hyprland (Wayland) Nvidia GPU and drivers. (555.58.02-3) Launched from Wofi which launches the PoB.desktop.

PoB .Desktop File in case there's a key piece of information such as the Exec field:

[Desktop Entry] Name=Path of Building (Community) Comment=Offline build planner for Path of Exile Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=pathofbuilding --file-forwarding community.pathofbuilding.PathOfBuilding @@u %U @@ Terminal=false Type=Application Icon=community.pathofbuilding.PathOfBuilding Categories=Game; Keywords=poe;pob;pobc;path;exile; MimeType=x-scheme-handler/pob; X-Flatpak=community.pathofbuilding.PathOfBuilding

hyprctl clients output (This is with it open as the black screen.):

Window 5f84a24a2290 -> Unnamed build (Scion) - Path of Building: mapped: 1 hidden: 0 at: 1925,7 size: 1618,1426 workspace: 4 (4) floating: 0 pseudo: 0 monitor: 0 class: pobfrontend title: Unnamed build (Scion) - Path of Building initialClass: pobfrontend initialTitle: Unnamed build (Scion) - Path of Building pid: 5147 xwayland: 0 pinned: 0 fullscreen: 0 fullscreenmode: 0 fakefullscreen: 0 grouped: 0 tags: swallowing: 0 focusHistoryID: 4

To add to the mystery, running from tmux in the console, PathOfBuilingCommunity&, works. I notice that the application starts with the X-Windows icon, although it is still running through Wayland. Running the same command directly from the console, no tmux, does not work. The application gets an icon with an yellow circle with a W and is a black screen.

I'm encountering an issue where it launches into just a black screen. I'm not seeing any obvious errors on launch. I'm running hyprland as a WM and know that wayland support can be finnicky.

Are you also using an nVidia card? I have the same issue with nVidia/Wayland/KDE 6. An Intel/Wayland/KDE 6 machine does not have the issue. The issue started with the 2.40.0 release which included the graphics engine overhaul.

I haven't tried the nVidia beta drivers and just installed the POB Windows version using Steam/Proton.

Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual

This is all I get, but the application is just a black screen.

Hi! We at official PoB are working toward making string operations in Lua more UTF-8 aware when it comes to matching, reversing, caret movement, etc.

This is to make I/O and path operations support Unicode properly on Windows through filthy hacks to the LuaJIT runtime and changes to the SimpleGraphic implementation.

We're going to use the luautf8 compiled extension module to add new functionality to Lua as can be seen in the WIP PR for this to do this work in the main repository. You can test this with something like the following in one of the Lua scripts:

local utf8 = require('lua-utf8')

The build of the extension works pretty much the same as the previous dependencies on Lua-cURLv3 and LZip, see the CMakeLists.txt of the SimpleGraphic wide I/O branch to see how we build it.

You may also have to look into how pobfrontend deals with Unicode text and caret positioning these days, be prepared to start seeing UTF-8 in string functions and filesystem operations, but as Linux is UTF-8 by default these days it's probably not too bad.

All those mirrors apear to be down.

updated pkgbuild. maybe I forgot to update pkgrel to 2 in .SRCINFO but I'll leave that for the next temporary maintaner, lets call it a breadcrumb :)

building clean from source should work now. gl hf

Well, after looking into it I think the disable devmode path is outdated since the line numbers seems to be out of sync. Removing this from prepare() function in PKGBUILD the package is created successfully. I'm not familiar with this stuff so I can't get where's the source of the file or how to get it corrected.

I encountered the same problem. Does anyone have a solution?

Hunk #1 FAILED at 42.

I get a failure on the latest version, does anyone get this when trying to apply patches?
