Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I am also using 20.04 and experiencing what may be the same crash: (see attachment for more)

Ah, reported my own occurrence of this as a separate bug because I thought this one was specific to Xubuntu -_-

Can confirm, this is happening out-of-the-box with openarena package on plain vanilla Ubuntu 20.04 as well.

Seems to be related to linking the native build of ui.qvm (uix86_64.so) with an older library which used to export the __atan2_finite symbol but no longer does.

Will attempt to build from official Git repo and post results.

[Michael Becker (alcexhim)]

OK, confirmed, building from the official Git repository (<email address hidden>:OpenArena/gamecode) works fine - steps to reproduce:

1. git clone <email address hidden>:OpenArena/gamecode
2. cd gamecode; make
3. sudo cp build/release-linux-x86_64/oax/*.so /usr/lib/openarena/baseoa/pak6-patch088

OpenArena works fine now. Please inform the package maintainer that the package on the official Ubuntu repositories needs to be recompiled ;)

[Chris Shucksmith (z-chris-d)]

Thanks for workaround Michael, works for me

[Matthias Fenner (inf0rmix)]

And why does this not get fixed in the package to make OA work out of the box ?

[Balint Reczey (rbalint)]

I'm test-building the package in https://launchpad.net/~rbalint/+archive/ubuntu/scratch/+packages and will upload the fix it is confirmed to work.

[Balint Reczey (rbalint)]

The rebuilt package does fix _this_ bug and shows the menu but is not functional because it crashes when starting single player game or demo with LP: #1907424. There is no point in SRU-ing this fix without fixing the other bug, too.

[andrew (andrewpintado1)]

This has been like this for a loooong time

[David Ruelas (davidnetix)]

This also happened to me on Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa (which is based on 20.04 Focal), and weirdly enough it appears to be fixed in Groovy (20.10).

[David Ruelas (davidnetix)]

Turns out the only fix until the next LTS comes out or somebody recompiles the package in the repos is to build from the official Git repository.

[Ray Pete (grampafragg)]

git repo build still crashes when I click fight, but that's more then I could get before!!

[Marco Camurri (mcamurri)]

workaround by user alcexhim works for me on Ubuntu 20.04
