Hello, I’ve been busy lately so I couldn’t test the latest git version but I just got the update and I tried to run in. The GUI didn’t show up, so I started it from the terminal to catch the output. This is it:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Indeed, an update arrived as 0.4.0ubuntu3 and now the client starts properly. Thanks for your reply.
Right after I start Lutris I get this:
WARNING 2016-10-18 01:32:19,135 [winesteam]:wine is not installed
Why wouldn’t Lutris try to work with the system’s wine by default? Of course, I installed Wine from “Manage runners” and restarted Lutris, and the warning went away.
Next, the connection issue is still a problem. This is what I get when I click connect in the menu:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lutris/gui/lutriswindow.py”, line 407, in on_connect

self.builder.add_from_file(ui_filename)
gi._glib.GError: /usr/share/lutris/ui/dialog-lutris-login.ui:84:1 requires attribute “id”
And when I click the “runner types/categories” (Browser, Linux, Steam, Wine) in the left column I get these:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lutris/gui/lutriswindow.py”, line 747, in on_sidebar_changed
self.view.invalidate_filter()
AttributeError: ‘GameListView’ object has no attribute ‘invalidate_filter’
OK, all the aforementioned messages are gone. I’ll look for more.
I don’t know if these are temporary or not, but I got them:

WARNING 2016-10-18 02:30:52,425 [resources]:Unable to get games from API
Possibly a rate limit issue of the web server? I have a lot of games in Steam and if the client pushed over 200 http requests at the same time I probably got a virtual smack over my head.
If this is the case (one http request per title), maybe group the games’ ids in a JSON structure and pass that to the API in a single request.
OK, now I tried to run a Steam (for Windows) game and Lutris told me I need to download a runner. I got these messages in the terminal:
ERROR 2016-10-18 02:43:06,929 [display]:Failed to retrive cursor “wait” for display “< gtk.gdk.X11Display object at 0x7f759f8353a8 (GdkX11Display at 0x1896060)>”

The last two lines kept repeating until I closed Lutris.
Connections problems to the website can happen sometimes but it shouldn’t be something permanent. There is no rate limiting and potential issues are due to the hosting company (or something between their servers and you).
Yep, that’s exactly what we’re doing since 0.4.0 but that’s only to retrieve the URLs of banners, then each banner has to be downloaded individually. We launch downloads in parallel so if you have connection issues, you’re likely to have a lot of error messages really fast
The “Failed to retrieve cursor” errors can be safely ignored, it shouldn’t keep things from running. I’ll try to make things more quiet in those cases.
If you got permanent connection issues then that’s a bigger problem… Does the website load fine in a browser? (I guess it does since you’re able to post in the forums, which are on the same server)
I did have issues accessing the main domain (lutris.net). It was temporary, but it didn’t load. The browser said the site is unavailable or something like that - sorry I didn’t pay more attention to that.
As for the Failed to retrive cursor error message, I get 3-4 of those each second (after I start a game). That’s a lot of “spam”. If you can fix those, it would be great. They’re so many it makes it difficult to follow the rest of the messages.
Now I still get these, with 0.4.1:
ERROR 2016-10-19 10:19:19,601 [http]:Unable to connect to server (https://lutris.net/api/games): < urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>
WARNING 2016-10-19 10:19:19,601 [resources]:Unable to get games from API
The set_cursor stuff can be safely ignored, sorry for the noise it produces, I have now removed everything related to it and won’t be here in next release.
This is more troublesome, can you access https://lutris.net/api/games from a browser? Do you have anything special in your internet connection that could explain that? (Proxy, unreliable wifi, etc)
It works from the browser, and I’m also authenticated there. I see “Django REST framework” and the rest of the content that I would expect to see.
In addition to that, I got this by trying to run Prince of Persia (Linux):
Unrecognized option: -glamor
use: X [:< display>] [option]
-a # default pointer acceleration (factor)
-ac disable access control restrictions
.
.
.
SDL_Init: No available video device
And it worked last night, but I can’t remember if I tried it before or after I upgraded to 0.4.1. I can say for sure, though, that I’ve seen this happening with a previous build of 0.4.0.
Maybe this will help:

Did you enable the “Use Xephyr” option? That looks like Xephyr! (And it seems that the version of Xephyr shipped with Mint isn’t compatible with Lutris but that’s another Problem, you don’t need Xephyr for PoP)
