0 AD reboots system when launched

[Theo0308]

When I launch 0ad (the strategy game) my systems reboots. Sort of like a quick reboot but the game never starts. Please help. What output must I add to help you help me and how do I add it.

Welcome to Manjaro!

1. Please read this:
   How to provide good information
   and press the three dots … below your post and press the to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
   Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
   Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
3. starting the game in a console and see if you can see something there before it reboots?

P.S. If you want to notify me that you did provide this information, please this message and I’ll come back and have another look.

[Theo0308]

Hi. Thanks a million. Please tell me what else you need. When I run it from console the same happens, but I tried a the game a while back on this same laptop on Elementary OS and the game worked fine. Your help will really be appreciated. Ps. I just ried it on Endeavouros and the same thing happens. The output is from Endeavouros. Manjaro is my main installation so I don’t want to mess around there really.

[HowTo] become a Manjaro power user when you're a wizard at Windows but a N00b at Manjaro / Linux

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the wood for the trees any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking:

Why is this so much more difficult than Windows?

Whereas in 6 months time, you’ll be like:

Why can't I make Windows jump through fiery hoops like I do with Linux???

<a class="lightbox&qu…

Especially the section Linux has multiple kernels I just linked to and then install an LTS kernel and boot into that.

Also, your UEFI firmware is really old. Refer to your manufacturer’s hardware guide how to update that.

@Theo0308

Please tell me what else you need.

Start there and then we’ll see if we need to dig any deeper (or not)

[Theo0308]

Thanks buddy. I switched to the LTS kernel and the game works fine. Last question. I downloaded some auto update package from Lenovo website to update the firmware and it just tell me there is nothing available for my laptop. Any idea on how else I can manually update the UEFI firmware on this laptop? Ps. I thought since this is a rolling release I better stay on the latest kernel to be up to date. Stupid of me.

@Theo0308

I switched to the LTS kernel and the game works fine.

I’ve marked this answer as the solution to your question as it is by far the best answer you’ll get.

I don’t have the same hardware as you, so that’s why I referred you to your manufacturer’s manual / web-site / forum.

@Theo0308

Stupid of me.

Not stupid: you read that bit of the tutorial and now you know more, so I’m recommending you read it all except the bits where it says to come back later…

Distro: EndeavourOS

Glad we could help, but why are you not asking in EndeavourOS forum when you using their distro?

[Theo0308]

Manjaro is my main distro, I just installed the game there to see if it will have the same problem and it did. Thanks a million for all the help guys.
