Kinfocenter crashes when the "OpenGL" information panel is selected

[phisrow]

Crash occurs in a clean install of edgy knot2 within a vmware virtual machine.

The crash occurs reliably when one opens Kinfocenter and selects the OpenGL pane.

Backtrace:

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

[Anthony Mercatante (tonio)]

Impossible to reproduce here with an up2date edgy...

[Anthony Mercatante (tonio)]

Hum sorry, didn't saw at the vmware thing ;)

[Thehound (tehhellhound)]

I can 100% confirm it with Edgy on VMWare Workstation 5.5.2. Not sure who is at fault: VMWare or (K)ubuntu. I use Kubuntu Edgy 6.10 for the record. We could use a little more information from you like which VMWare version you're using. 5.5.3 is the latest but I have not bothered updating because it works perfectly but for this and a little skew in the clock that's easily correctable(known VMWare issue with any OS that uses 1000HZ interrupt rate). Have you ever used Dapper or anything within VMWare? If so, does it happen with that? I'm hoping this could be nailed down to either Edgy or a bug in VMWare. I'd be happy to hear if anyone has a solution as I like to have things run perfectly.

What video driver are you using and does OpenGL work in your setup? Does glxinfo work?

[Ryan Kavanagh (ryanakca)]

I can confirm on Kubuntu feisty fawn, daily build, Live CD. Video driver: vesa (according to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... see attachment for more details).

glxinfo does not work (from what I see..)

name of display: :0.0
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 142 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
  Serial number of failed request: 16
  Current serial number in output stream: 17

however, I get good FPS with glxgears:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ glxgears
3578 frames in 5.0 seconds = 711.974 FPS
4200 frames in 5.1 seconds = 828.454 FPS

[Kieran Hogg (xerosis)]

The same action restarts X for me.

I have a Dell Dimension E520 desktop /w Intel 82G965 graphics chipset. When I click the OpenGL item in KInfoCenter my X crashed and restarted itself... googled and found this thread. Anyone know what could cause this?

[Ryan Kavanagh (ryanakca)]

It seems to be a vesa thing, based on the comments / attachments. Anybody experiencing the same problem with a different driver?

[vonHalenbach (lustik)]

I am sure, that i had this exact same bug with feisty fawn, too. I had made several updates and i can't confirm this bug anymore. I get a normal error message, when i press on this button in kinfocenter.
This bug seems to be bound to the original vesa driver in connection with the original feisty kernel.
I had changed my driver to the propritary old nvidia driver and had no problems since then.
Now i use the vesa driver again with an updated kernel.

Still an issue in Intrepid?

[Kevin (raccoonstrait)]

Hi,

Sorry about the delay in response. I am no longer getting Kinfocenter crashes. I was able to build the index recently. I am not sure what Intrepid is. System is up to date with software updates.

Regards

Kevin

Intrepid is the codename of the next (K)ubuntu release, Kubuntu 8.10.
Thanks for testing. Since you've reported that the problems has been resolved I'll close this as fixed.
