[SOLVED] lgmpClientSessionInit Failed

Software & Operating Systems Looking Glass
1

Hello, all.

I’ve got Looking Glass B4 server and client on an Arch host and a freshly installed W10 guest. I’m passing my 1080 Ti through while the host uses my RX480. The lot of it seems more or less fine, except for Looking Glass. When I run the client well after Windows boots, I get the following:

I know libgmp is for math to arbitrary precision, but perhaps that’s not even the library being used here? (After all, lg_run is Looking Glass Run.) Other than that, I’m clueless as to what’s amiss.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. =)

Further investigation indicates that LGMP is the Looking Glass Memory Protocol, and that this error is probably from LGMP/lgmp/src/client.c, or:

LGMP_STATUS lgmpClientSessionInit(PLGMPClient client, uint32_t * udataSize,     
    uint8_t ** udata)                                                           
{                                                                               
  assert(client);                                                               
  struct LGMPHeader * header = client->header;                                  
                                                                                
  if (header->magic != LGMP_PROTOCOL_MAGIC)                                     
    return LGMP_ERR_INVALID_MAGIC;                                              
                                                                                
  if (header->version != LGMP_PROTOCOL_VERSION)                                 
    return LGMP_ERR_INVALID_VERSION;  
...

That’s downright interesting… Perhaps my shared memory segment persisted from when I mistakenly compiled the bleeding edge client and tried running it against B4’s host on Windows?

Guess I’ll look around at how to “redo” the shared memory segment. :wink:

Nnnnope!

I’m just a touch foolish and didn’t heed the warning not to clone from GitHub directly. I grabbed the source tarball from the website and everything built and ran just fine.

Nothing to see here, folks. =)
