On SteamOS, gpuvis failed to visualize the captured trace file.

On SteamOS,

1. Use the sample scripts at folder ./gpuvis/sample to capture a event trace.
   $ sudo ./trace-cmd-setup.sh
   $ sudo ./trace-cmd-start-tracing.sh
   $ sudo ./trace-cmd-capture.sh
   $ sudo ./trace-cmd-stop-tracing.sh
   Then a file named trace_02-02-2023_13-20-27.dat is created

2. Use gpuvis application to visualize.
   $ gpuvis trace_02-02-2023_13-20-27.dat

It failed with errors shown as below.

[Error] read_header_files: header_page not found.
[Error] read_trace_file: setjmp error called for trace_02-02-2023_13-20-27.dat
[Error] load_trace_file(trace_02-02-2023_13-20-27.dat) failed.

Is there anybody experienced this error?

It is deeply appreciated for any suggestions.

Hi Wenyou. I think the issue you're running into is the same as this:
#50
And sorry - I'm currently working at another company and just haven't had time to fix this...

If you capture a trace on steamdeck via the devkit tool you won't encounter this issue:

Once you have the devkit tool connected you can use the 'System Trace' button to capture and copy a gpuvis trace.

I can confirm that running the workaround:

trace-cmd convert -i trace-7.dat -o trace-6.dat --file-version 6

Allows gpuvis to open the trace.
