Some Update in Ubuntu 16.04 Linux is now stopping Godot 2.0.X Loading

+1 vote

Hi Team

Its been over a week since I have loaded/started Godot 2.0.2/2.0.3 and am now encountering the following error (found when launching from terminal to narrow down why Godot wasn't starting):

ERROR: initialize: Condition ' modifiers == __null ' is true.
At: platform/x11/os_x11.cpp:117.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

My guess is that it may be video card driver and/or x11 related. Has anyone else hit this? Got any ideas of how to resolve it?

Cheers

Update:

I have changed the permissions on all data files/directories to do with the Godot program and where I have my project to ensure my user and group authorities have full permissions. I can now start Godot from the terminal without needing to invoke superuser, however, in the terminal I am now getting the following, which might be related to the original problem:

ERROR: save: Condition ' err ' is true. returned: ERR_CANT_OPEN
    At: core/io/resource_format_xml.cpp:2725.
ERROR: save: Can't Save!
    At: tools/editor/editor_settings.cpp:441.
ERROR: save: Condition ' err ' is true. returned: ERR_CANT_OPEN
    At: core/io/resource_format_xml.cpp:2725.
ERROR: save: Can't Save!
    At: tools/editor/editor_settings.cpp:441.

Godot seems to be working however, so I am not sure if the above are anything to be worried about.

Thoughts?

It can't save your editor settings, that's indeed something to worry about.
The location is ~/.godot/, might want to check on that.

All is good now, no errors in the terminal. I am still not sure what caused this all but I think I have got all the permissions as they should be now. So now I can begin my practical first experiences with Godot, with me luck ;)

I have exactly same issue. After installing Ubuntu 16.04 the error occurs. My previous system was Ubuntu 15.04 and everything worked fine.
The same error is also reported when I try to run exported games for Linux.

Running as superuser works fine!

It sounds now like a file/folder permission problem. Maybe the cache used by godot (no idea where it is) doesn't have the right permission anymore.
