ok, I’ve found a workaround for fab as well.
Findings
Basically the issue seems to be with the new system dns:
/lib64/libnss_resolve.so.2: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: _nss_resolve_endaliasent (fatal)
(can be seen with LD_DEBUG=libs ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealEditor)
a temporary workaround is to change the nsswitch.conf (use authselect when you verify the below works - read below for authselect instructions)
cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
# Generated by authselect
# Do not modify this file manually, use authselect instead. Any user changes will be overwritten.
# You can stop authselect from managing your configuration by calling 'authselect opt-out'.
# See authselect(8) for more details.
# In order of likelihood of use to accelerate lookup.
passwd: files systemd
shadow: files systemd
group: files [SUCCESS=merge] systemd
#hosts: files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns
hosts: files dns # CHANGE ABOVE TO THIS TAKE BACKUPS
services: files
netgroup: files
automount: files
aliases: files
ethers: files
gshadow: files systemd
networks: files dns
protocols: files
publickey: files
rpc: files
Authselect
sudo authselect create-profile custom-nss --base-on=local
sudo vi /etc/authselect/custom/custom-nss/nsswitch.conf
and do the changes
moving dns after files myhostname also works
Then when using unreal (this can also be done when unreal is running, on a different session) you can do
sudo authselect select custom/custom-nss --force
Comments
It does look like the getaddrinfo crashes when the dns reaches resolve stage
I guess the issue is the packaged libraries might not be compatible with some system libraries, but I haven’t spent too much time on this.
It does solve the issue for me, maybe another day I’ll dig deeper (maybe a libcef update is needed, I don’t know, I have an older ubuntu machine , it may work there, when I’m on it I’ll update here)
