[self-solved]Lutris times out instead of launching

Support

I can’t get lutris -d to provide output, so here’s the output I DO get.

[sunderkeenin@jerodpc ~]$ lutris
Failed to register: Timeout was reached
[sunderkeenin@jerodpc ~]$ lutris -d
Failed to register: Timeout was reached

Since I couldn’t get debug output from lutris here’s the output from inxi -b.

[sunderkeenin@jerodpc ~]$ inxi -b

Any idea what’s going on here?

Edit: The issue was an .Xauthority-c file being locked, so I couldn’t even startx. rm -fr ~/.Xauthority-c resolved all of my issues. Not an issue of Lutris itself. Restarting your computer does wonders, including isolating the real problem.

I’m glad you could solve it. I always try to restart my machine to either test if something is still working or to get things to work again. Instead of actually pressing restart, I do recommend powering it off completely and then on back again.

I had some trouble with my graphics card that was solved that way, once.
