KSP won't start! 8(... Linux fun! (Solved)

[Arugela]

KSP simply flashes on in a window for a split second then disapears...

This could be from stuff I had to do to recover my operating system from a full root drive.

I had to delete /var/log/journal/* to get it to properly get into the OS.

I then deleted several desktop environments to make room on the root drive etc.

I used: "$sudo dnf remove @lqtx"; "$sudo dnf remove @xfce"; "$sudo dnf remove openbox";

Now ksp won't start. I assume I either deleted something the the logs it uses and needs or a dependency with the OS environments. Anyone have any clue or know where to look to find out what could be the problem.

I've since tried verifying the game files in steam, which said one was bad and repaired, deleted the game and fresh installed several times, and resintalled steam itself. Nothing changing the behaviour. The game was working fine before all of this happened.

Fedora 27 64bit

KSP 1.4.2.2110 (steam)

I don't think it's producing a log file atm.

Neither steam start or using the KSP.exes is working. Same exact result. I'm assuming this is either a missing dependency or something in /var/log/journal/* ksp needs.

Does anyone know how to check dependencies for linux?

 

Edit: I just got the same warnings. My root drive is full. Something is filling it up constantly and if I restart my computer it likely won't start up again... anyone know anything about this in general in linux atm?! I have no idea what is going on.

Something is continuously filling up my root and destroying my system. the problem is it's not the journal. The journal folder is still empty from having just deleted it's contents. It's something else. What is stupid is that it's not showing up as full in disk usage analyzer(it shows only 13gb of 20gb of my root being used.). There is something invisible filling my root.

Edit: I figured it out. /var/spool/abrt was filling. It was filling up every 3 seconds with a small 44.4 folder... Deleted them all and seeing if it fills up again. Had to delete them because it was filling root and making the system break down. Not sure which thing was causing it. One was system manager KF5 which I think might be from my lovely broken plasma desktop. But I didn't go through to check. Not sure if this is related to KSP or not.

Still no luck on getting ksp started. I'm assuming something got removed with the desktop environments. But I think the root partition has stopped filling up. I also don't need to change to manjora as I was about too. Just need to figure out what was removed. I have no idea where to find something that might show what is going on. The window is open for a split second when the program starts then stops. Not sure where that might be logged in linux. And starting it is not producing the logs in spool.

I don't even think the process is showing up in the mate system monitor.

I'm going to try to reinstall all of those desktop environments and restart to see if it helps. Edit: No luck. I didn't fix or change the problem from what I can tell.

 

Fixed: I reinstalled the video drivers. Something must have gotten removed. It's loading now.
