Breaking change from v3 to v4

[kbridgford]

Running StardewValley as a headless server. I have everything working fine using jlesage/baseimage-gui:debian-11-v3.5. When I updated to jlesage/baseimage-gui:debian-11-v4 the app won't launch and gets the following error:

stardew  | [app         ] ./StardewValley: line 7: sw_vers: command not found
stardew  | [supervisor  ] all services started.
stardew  | [supervisor  ] service 'utils' exited (with status 126).

I'm suspecting some issue with xterm. I reviewed the adaptations from 3.x section of the docs but didn't find anything promising.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

After further troubleshooting, I think it broke when TigerVNC replaced x11vnc in V4.

[kbridgford]

I've tried taking the v4 image and removing TigerVNC and re-installing x11vnc and xvfb. I used the config files from commit 28f8215 as inspiration.

I still get the error Unhandled exception. Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException: Failed to create graphics device! when trying to launch the game.

Maybe it's something that changed with openbox between v3 and v4, but I have no idea what logs would help or what configs to check.

This might be caused by support for GTK4. Could you try with version 4.5.3 to see if you have the same issue ?

@jlesage thanks for chiming in. I was able to test using jlesage/baseimage-gui:debian-11-v4.5.3. I still get game crash with the following error.

 The game failed to launch: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException: Failed to create graphics device!
