I take it other GPU-requiring programs have no issues running in your VM, like a game or somesuch?

I never tried anything like that. For me it is a server and I am not running any games or other GPU-requiring programs on it.

I set it up for a Torque Game Server so nothing else has ever been installed on it.

Also, just to clarify, Az's PR for the SDL error reporting worked for you? If so, I can check that into devhead to make it official.

Yes, sorry had to mention this earlier, this is perfect for me. Now it gives a decent error message I can work with.

Thank you for that information. I changed the code and now I get the message:

/home/T3DPro/Engine/source/windowManager/sdl/sdlWindowMgr.cpp(446,0): {Fatal} - SDL error:No available video device

So guess I will have to find out why it does not find an available video device.

Probably cause I am running it on a VMware machine. But I did not have this problem before though.

Not sure if I am posting in the correct subject/board.

But I compiled Torque3D on Ubuntu, not 16.04 but 17.04, and compiling went well but when I try to run the code I get the following error message:

./Project01 -dedicated -mission "levels/Empty Terrain"
Initializing platform...
Input Init:
% 
/home/T3DPro/Engine/source/windowManager/sdl/sdlWindowMgr.cpp(448,0): {Fatal} - SDL init error
Platform::debugBreak: triggering SIGSEGV for core dump
% Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I checked the code in sdlWindowMgr.cpp and the following is in there:

int res = SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK | SDL_INIT_HAPTIC | SDL_INIT_GAMECONTROLLER | SDL_INIT_EVENTS | SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE );
AssertFatal(res != -1, "SDL init error");

No idea what it does to be honest and no idea why it gives me that error.

Is there anyone that can help me with this?

I did not change anything on the code so far, just cloned it from the GIT repository and compiled it.

Thanks in advance
