It is a bug in libx11 1.6.10 you can fix it by downgrading to 1.6.9. (this fixed the issue for me)

Can you compile Godot with address sanitizer support and try to run it?
It should show stacktrace where exactly crashed.

Compiled for v4.0.dev and it failed the same way - I can build with 3.2.2 also if you'd like

You can try to comment this line, compile and check if works(it may leaks some memory, but I don't think so):

On Github in all checked by me examples of usage XGetIMValues, returned value were used(or even not), but never freed.(example - https://github.com/Sly14/upp-mirror/blob/ed9bc6028a6eed422b7daa21139a5e7cbb5f1fb7/uppdev/IMTest/IMTest.cpp#L65-L70)

Thanks a lot, that seems to help. Still some errors in the startup, but I'm able to start and open projects now.

Looks like I can backport this workaround to 3.2.2 by making the same comment edit in platforms/x11/os_x11.cpp, trying now.

I have the same problem to start godot. I run godot in archlinux.

On Github in all checked by me examples of usage XGetIMValues, returned value were used(or even not), but never freed.

Extract from man page for XGetIMValues:

This function returns NULL if it succeeds; otherwise, it returns the name of the first argument that could not be obtained.

If I get it correctly char *imvalret = XGetIMValues(xim, XNQueryInputStyle, &xim_styles, nullptr); gonna return NULL if succeeded and pointer to the string constant XNQueryInputStyle otherwise (same pointer function received as argument).

Confirmed that commenting out this line in tags/3.2.2-stable also produces the workaround. Still lots of memory leak warnings.

What exactly leaks(you cut the last report in previous message)?
Some leaks exists in Godot due bugs in libraries like libx11 etc.

You should run godot with DRI_PRIME=0 command before, like I wrote in my first post

It is a bug in libx11 1.6.10 you can fix it by downgrading to 1.6.9. (this fixed the issue for me)

Fixed with a quick update to libx11 on my machine. Based on this and the workaround I'm comfortable closing this.

aphelionz on 4 Aug 2020

hi im having this very same issue, Linux Deepinv20 (debian10 stable based), it worked just fine before, the other day i had a system update, and now godot won't start. libx11-dev is on version 1.6.7.1-1 which is what debian10 stable uses. DRI_PRIME=0 does not fix the issue either. only thing i installed lately (before the issue started) I did a system update like i said before, and a messeged poped at the end, looked for that on google and it said i had to install initramfs-tools so i did, everything works on my PC, except godot, it wont start. i decided to remove initramfs-tools but issue persist.

I think it's a problem of libx11. Today i just upgrade libx11 from 1.6.7-1 to 1.6.12-1 by runing 'apt update && apt upgrade' and the issue fixed. I can start godot now.
