[posila] [0.17.74] Linux: Factorio displays as 'My SDL application'

We are aware of them, but do not have solutions that don't cause other issues. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[posila] [0.17.74] Linux: Factorio displays as 'My SDL application'

Post by baltitenger »

When the game is running, Factorio blocks the screen from turning off.
In KDE Plasma, under display configuration, the following can be seen:

It seems like you left in some example string as the application's name. Not sure if this can be seen anywhere else.
There is also no icon present in display settings or in audio settings.

(Indeed not a very burning issue, but still :))

As for example string - it's literally hardcoded in SDL: https://github.com/spurious/SDL-mirror/ ... bus.c#L339
Since we link SDL statically, I can change it.

As for icon, moving to minor issues.

You should report this issue to the SDL, and make it possible to configure it by SDL library users. https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/
