SLADE 3 crashes on kubuntu linux

[Lisac_the_fox]

I compiled latest slade from github with no errors. The lump editing works as far as i can see but when i enter to map editor it instantly crashes.
Console output:

Any solutions?

19:40:33: OpenGL Version: 1,0

That is most likely the culprit, I'm not sure it'll work with drivers/hardware that old. Try setting gl_vbo to 0, if that doesn't work, see if you can get some newer video drivers.

[Lisac_the_fox]

When i enter:
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
I get: OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 10.1.3
So I dont know why slade says i have opengl 1.0.
EDIT: It works with gl_vbo 0 but 3d mode behaves very strange.

[wildweasel]

if that doesn't work, see if you can get some newer video drivers.

Depending on his video hardware, there might not be anything more recent. If Linux is using the Mesa driver, then he might be stuck on Intel Graphics or similar.

[sirjuddington]

Yeah, mesa drivers aren't going to work so well. If you can, get some proper drivers, if not, it's not really going to work.

Yeah, mesa drivers aren't going to work so well. If you can, get some proper drivers, if not, it's not really going to work.

yeah, not to mention having any visual desktop effects enabled tends to mess with programs using OpenGL features. Kwin(the default window manager of Kubuntu that have some visual effects using OpenGL) has a long list of such bugs. There is a few alternative though. Using Xrenderer instead than OpenGL can solve the problem but since Mesa drivers and Xrenderer don't work well together there is a high possibility this won't work.

@ Lisac_the_fox : Installing "Propriety Drivers" to replace the Mesa drivers could solve the problem. If you have an ATI video card you can have some additional problems because ATI don't provide an open-source version of their drivers anymore. nVidia on the other hand has a pretty potent "Propriety Driver" that works well on most nVidia cards. Also you problem could be a missing dependency or lib that cause the crash.

So what i'd do after updating Kubuntu to have all libs up-to-date is :

1 - I'd be sure to disable all desktop effects of Kwin(If Compiz is used instead of Kwin I'd disable Compiz and return to Kwin and be sure to check if all the desktop effects are off)

2 - I'd check if there is a "Propriety Driver" for my video card and if there is one i'd install it

3 - I'd check if there is any driver update(no mater if it's Mesa or Propriety Drivers)

4 - I'd check if SLADE has all the dependencies it needs to work well. (you can install and run the good old Synaptic to see if your SLADE version has everything it needs to run. Why that antic instead of the new Muon? Well Muon doesn't always download the dependencies for an apps even if it's supposed to.

If all the above fails maybe upgrading your Kubuntu distribution to the a newer one(For now 14.10 is on its Beta 1 stage and may have some bugs but it has a more up-to-date package list than 14.04)

where can i find intel integrated graphics driver?

where can i find intel integrated graphics driver?

If your flavor of Linux hasn't already given it to you by default (if it's Ubuntu-based, it probably has), then you're probably out of luck, depending on your chipset. What type of chip is the computer using? Is it an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator, an HD Graphics, something of that type?

[Lisac_the_fox]

No, its some long name, but anyway, i found drivers(took me 1.5 months!) and now have gl 2.1. Tried setting gl_vbo to 0 but 3d mode still strange. To be more specific, i need to right-click in order to refresh it after every action(even camera move).

[Lisac_the_fox]

Update: I installed latest slade from drd team's ubuntu respository using synaptic. Still same problem.

[Lisac_the_fox]

some help?

[wildweasel]

No, its some long name

You never did tell us exactly what video hardware you're using.

[Lisac_the_fox]

Intel i915 integrated graphics. Solutions?
