Any ideas?

Is there also a BeeBEEP log? More info on https://www.beebeep.net/faq.php?lang=en-US#faq8

[ttheis]

Unfortunately since it does not start up there is no log. . .
Then I actually got it to run by doing: LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1; beebeep. But I had to try it several times. I tested it and it works. Sent and received beeps. While it was running I got the log file.

[ttheis]

Have a longer log file . .

[ttheis]

OK, the LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 setting does not matter. If I open a terminal and just type beebeep and enter it usually gets that error. But if I keep doing it after about 3 or 4 times beebepp comes up and runs just fine.

[ttheis]

Did a screen shot of the startup log in the journal if that will tell you anything else.
Let me know if you need the full listing but it's rather long.

[ttheis]

Looks like changing from the Nouveau driver to a Nvidia driver fixes this.

Thank you very much!
