hugin freeze at startup [CLOSED]

[tiemen]

Hello,
After a recent reinstallation of linux mint (20.2), I wanted to reinstall Hugin, which worked very well on my old configuration. But now, Hugin crashes systematically at startup, and I don't know what it is due to.
I tried with the version contained in the repositories, as well as with 6-7 different versions of .appimage (https://github.com/aferrero2707/hugin-appimage/releases/tag/continuous) and the problem remains the same.
however, on my girlfriend's computer, also on linux mint, Hugin 2019.2 works without problem.
This is perhaps due to the fact that I use i3 as windows manager?

in shell, i have this :
`(hugin:447977): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 14:42:06.877: gtk_widget_set_size_request: assertion 'height >= -1' failed`

Sincerely

Try deleting the preferences file ~/.hugin

The window manager should not be the problem. But it may be a problem, when using Wayland instead of X11. In this case a special compile option is required.

thank you for your answer!
i made a `apt purge hugin`.
as well as all files that contain "hugin" (.hugin, .hugindata, etc...)
but it still crashes
Here is the bug report generated by hugin (in attachment)
I also added a txt with what is displayed in the console at runtime

I followed this link (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/202891/how-to-know-whether-wayland-or-x11-is-being-used) to find out if I was using wayland or X11, and I get

$loginctl show-session c2 -p Type
Type=x11

Sincerly

Okay, that was not the cause.

Try running glxgears to check if OpenGL works correct in your environment
(see https://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ#Hugin_Quits_.28Seg_Faults.29_at_Launch_.28Linux.29 )

$ sudo apt install mesa-utils
..
mesa-utils is already the most recent version (8.4.0-1build1).
..

and when a run $ glxgears , i have :

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.

and afters 10-15 sec :

Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

This indicates that your graphic driver does not support OpenGL correctly / has a bug in the OpenGL implementation.
You need to find and install another graphic driver for your systems.

This is already mentioned in the FAQ: If glxgears does not run on your system, Hugin will not run either. See your Linux distribution's instruction on how to fix the video drivers.

So we can't do anything in this case. So closing here.

Hello,
I managed to launch hugin, and it was indeed due to a bad configuration of my computer.
I detail here, because it is possible that other people have the same problem.

The problem came from a bad configuration of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
When I had installed xbacklight, I got an error "No outputs have backlight property", and I had followed the following topic: https://askubuntu.com/questions/715306/xbacklight-no-outputs-have-backlight-property-no-sys-class-backlight-folder

Unfortunately, the card/drivers fields didn't match my configuration. Running on i3 I didn't realize it right away, and it's only after a linux reinstallation. Before the modification of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, hugin was running, after the modification, hugin crashes. So I just deleted the file, and it worked again.

Thanks again for your help, and I hope this post will help some people !
