Error when running Ulubis from image in shell: "Inappropriate ioctl for device"

[earl-ducaine]

Ubuntu: 20.04 -- Focal Fossa
SBCL: sbcl-2.0.1.debian-linux-x64 (from distribution)

The image created by cat build-ulubis.lisp | sbcl is failing to launch when run from the bash shell. If the project is loaded via ASDF and launched interactively in lisp, e.g.

;; As a local quicklisp project
(ql:quickload :ulubis-sdl)
(ulubis::run-compositor)

It works fine. Below is the backtrace, attached is the .ulubu.lisp init file (the default suggested in the readme)

:~/dev/common-lisp/egl/ulubis$ ./ulubis

I don't suppose you're using an nvidia card?
