Description Thomas Capricelli 2022-02-04 20:53:29 UTC

The package installs fine, but then absolutely nothing happen:

orzel@berlioz /tmp% dunelegacy
orzel@berlioz /tmp%

I understand that upstream is dead (last update in 2016), but if the package doesn't work, please remove it.

It creates a log file
orzel@berlioz /tmp% cat ~/.config/dunelegacy/Dune\ Legacy.log
Starting Dune Legacy 0.96.4 on Linux

But nothing more.

I tried strace, couldn't see anything relevant interesting.

For the fun, strace:

Reproducible: Always

Upstream isn't so dead after all, there was a release in 2022... for Windows only. That might change though. I tried running it and got the dialog about not having the game files because I don't. I think someone else who has the game should try it.
