[Mini-HowTo] Provide System Information

Basic details provided by *-fetch type apps might give enough information for someone wishing to buy a computer, however, for Support purposes it’s best to ask your system directly.

Output of the inxi command will generate more useful and detailed information for those who may wish to help:

---

Suggested inxi command (use either):

inxi -zv8	(short-form)
inxi --filter --verbosity=8	(long-form)

• man inxi (The inxi manual)

---

Command output should be presented as pre-formatted text in accordance with forum guidelines.

---

Running inxi within a chroot environment

• Add --color=0 to the long-form command, or…
• Change the short-form command to inxi -zv8c0

Your privacy is respected

Run inxi using the --filter or -z parameters: personally identifiable information is filtered from the resulting output.

---

[Mini-HowTo] Present code or command output

Code or command output is expected to be presented similarly to how it would appear in a text editor (monospaced). The Discourse forum software makes it easy to create an enclosure (a text box) that is already pre-formatted for this purpose.

Note: Grave accent (or, backtick) characters are used.

For inline code or to show a single command:

• please follow this simple example: code here.

For multi-line command output:

• place text beween two rows of three (```) backtick characters to form a scrollable text box, or …
• use the </> button in the Compose window to achieve the same result.

Important: Click the </> button and paste text between the backticks (if using the old Compose layout). Otherwise, paste into the box generated (if using the new Compose layout).

The empty row between these rows of backtick characters is where to paste any multi-line command output (such as inxi).

An example of a pre-formatted text enclosure:

What is a Quark?

A. In Physics, an elementary particle and fundamental constituent of matter. 
B. A character from the Star Trek: "Deep Space Nine" television series.
C. A soft, creamy, usually unsalted cheese traditional to central Europe.

---

The issue is clearly WINE-related, and Steam is involved. The topic has been moved to a more appropriate Support category.

Regards.

The issue is clearly WINE-related, and Steam is involved.

Please elaborate. I just know I didnt fiddle with WINE.

After updating I got this error on system start:

Could you please elaborate? What does system start mean and why should it include anything like this:

@Fred_VIE

  Command Line: 
```C:\\windows\\system32\\services.exe'
    Executable: /home/fred/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-17/files/bin/wine64-preloader

There is not much to elaborate on; services.exe certainly isn’t a Linux executable:

@Fred_VIE

Message: Process 5862 (services.exe) of user 1000 dumped core.

And it seems that WINE, which is used by Proton/Steam, is (as said) involved:

@Fred_VIE

Command Line: 
```C:\\windows\\system32\\services.exe'
    Executable: /home/fred/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-17/files/bin/wine64-preloader

Additionally, a cursory Internet Search reveals this apparent crashing is not specific to Manjaro; this is the most recent reference I’ve found that is Arch-related – meaning, it was reported on an Arch Linux (or derivative) installation:

All Proton games crash on launch (multiple Proton versions)

I note that the resolution for some was to completely remove Steam – and it’s configuration files – reboot, and install Steam again.

Whether this might resolve the issue in your case, remains to be seen.

Regards.

as mentioned in the linked thread there was a change in the mesa/vulkan package.
So you can reinstall/update mesa package (which helped me a bit ago) or try the solution from the thread:

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i68.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json is the environment variable.
It is pointing to only one valid path which is why vulkan-loader fails to find the driver. You can try renaming the file and see if that solves the issue.
sudo mv /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.json /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json Then you can try vulkaninfo again.

[Fred_VIE]

Thanks everyone!

Weirdly this crash came and went so I do not know what it was.

I reinstalled mesa just in case but since the first time the crash message has not appeared again. Can it be a Steam patch fixed it?

I have not started a game (not even when the crash occured) because I rarely play in summertime.

Is there a way to check if the problem persists?

@AlexBoldt

try vulkaninfo again.

I dont know howto. When I type vulcaninfo in the console it does not know it (stays red).

@soundofthunder

services.exe certainly isn’t a Linux executable

Thanks, I did not know that. Thanks also for the info that it is Arch related.
