OXP verifier not working on archlinux

[Lone_Wolf]

Oolite 1.90 and trunk both on archlinux both fail running the oxp verifier.

Code: Select all

$ /usr/share/oolite-git/oolite --verify-oxp ~/.Oolite/AddOns/EmergencyShield.oxp/
2025-11-15 21:57:18.763 oolite[2594:2595] Truncating thread name 'OOLogOutputHandler logging thread' to 15 characters due to platform limitations
[ALSOFT] (EE) Could not query RTKit: No such file or directory (2)
$ ls -l ~/.Oolite/Logs

The ALSOFT message is normal on my system and does not cause issues for any application
I've opened https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/issues/529 , but it looks like that didn't attract attention.

Apologies, I did see the issue, but I don't have access to an Arch Linux setup to confirm/test/debug.

Do you have access to a VPS cloud provider (5 are offically supported) or AL guest on vmware or AL guest on virtualbox ?

Hyper-V and WSL2 are also possible, but trickier to install AL on.

I’ll try again with Virtual Box - my last few attempts to get a Linux VM up and running have failed for some reason, and at the time I wasn’t motivated enough to debug it.

For clarity :
The truncating message also appears when running oolite normally, so may not be related to the oxp verifier problem.

I never got OXP verifier to work on my AppleMac either...

If you do, have an eye on the virtual graphics adapter.
It's OpenGL capabilities are sufficient for 1.90 but not 1.91 - since there was that HDR update.

While compiling trink I noticed this :

Code: Select all

src/Core/OXPVerifier/OOOXPVerifier.m: In function ‘OpenLogFile’:
src/Core/OXPVerifier/OOOXPVerifier.m:766:24: warning: ignoring return value of ‘system’ declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’ [-Wunused-result]
  766 |                 (void) system([[NSString stringWithFormat:@"cat \"%@\"", OOLogHandlerGetLogPath()] UTF8String]);
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Could this be related to the oxp verifier not writing anything to the log ?
