Bug Description
[Impact]
* Gnome control center will crash when Clicking on the Details tab.
* only affects the virtualbox glX driver
[Testcase]
- Load VirtualBox VM with 3D enabled.
- Open gnome-control-
- This will crash gnome-control-
[Regression Potential]
Very low, this patch adds a glXQueryVersion call, which forces the virtualbox glX driver to correctly initialise before calling glXChooseFBConfig. This is entirely redundant on any other glX drivers and unlikely to cause any regressions.
=== Original Bug Report ===
On Ubuntu 13.10, when I search for "Details " in the dash, I see the mouse cursor (meaning it's loading something). But then gnome-control-panel crashes and I get "Ubuntu 13.10 has encountered an internal error".
This also happens when I go to System Settings from the launcher and then to "Details".
NOTE: I'm running 13.10 in a virtual machine on Ubuntu 12.04.
Bug Details
----------------
1) Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 13.10 x64
2) Package version: gnome-control-
3) Expectation: I expected that the Details section of the Control Panel would open.
4) Reality: Nothing happened; not even a window opened. I only get an error (mentioned above).
