osu: Failed to create an SDL2 GL context (Invalid window)

Type

Crash to desktop

Bug description

AppImage version of the game used to run fine on my system and now it opens a black window and hangs (probably after some system update as I’m on a rolling distro). Tried building from source - builds fine, opens a black window and hangs. I rebuilt flatpak image with never version since the flathub one is outdated and it ran fine for a few weeks but now doesn’t even open a window saying:

To provide more context to this issue I tried tracing it some more in debugger and caught this exception:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source')
   at System.Linq.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentNullException(ExceptionArgument argument)
   at System.Linq.Enumerable.TryGetFirst[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source, Boolean& found)
   at System.Linq.Enumerable.First[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source)
   at osu.Framework.Platform.SDL2DesktopWindow.get_PrimaryDisplay() in /home/pcktm/clones/osu-framework/osu.Framework/Platform/SDL2DesktopWindow_Windowing.cs:line 370
The osu.Framework.Platform.SDL2DesktopWindow.Displays does indeed equal null when osu.Framework\Platform\SDL2DesktopWindow.cs:202 gets executed.

Tried PrimaryDisplay => (Displays ?? getSDLDisplays()).First(); and while LINQ doesn’t throw now, the issue wasn’t solved…

Could you post the full stack trace?

Is
PrimaryDisplay => (Displays ?? getSDLDisplays()).First();
a good enough fix? If so, I’d submit a PR to osu-framework.

This is not a proper solution. Displays being null here is the underlying issue.

Inspired by @frenzibyte comment I linked /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 to /usr/lib/libdl.so and sure enough the window does open and flash some colors, so that must’ve been it
