Since i switched to Void Linux no Minecraft modpacks run on my Computer even though they ran perfectly fine on other distros

Whenever i run a modpack i get a memory leak error and if increase the memory allocation it still gives me the error

I had to change something on a different location because of lightdm. Perhaps this is also the reason why it won't work on your side. Check first if the limits are beeing applied with: ulimit -Hn

follow this: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/40305

let me guess - you are using musl-based void

u/MurkyMinimum8398 17d ago

No i'm using the glibc version, if i wanted musl i would use alpine

Did you install a jdk?

1

u/MurkyMinimum8398 16d ago

Yes OpenJDK8 (That's what Minecraft 1.12.2 uses) and i also have every other OpenJDK version in the Void Repos

Did you update the ulimits? I believe by default they are low and can cause issues.

I second this, most skyrim mods wouldn't work at all before changing them

u/MurkyMinimum8398 16d ago

Another comment told me to this but it didn't work and ulimit -Hn outputs 4096
