[Chromium-users] Chromium not displaying some applications

[Nino P. <np...@gm...>]

Hi,

We have a viz-wall of 3x1, running Chromium 1.9 and XDMX.

We have some OpenGL applications running fine, but when we try to run Maya
8.0 or Amira 3.1, the applications does not load correctly, we have no
interaction with the menus (click on them triggers no action) and some
buttons does not appear.

This is the error we get:

CR Error (tile-0-0:7794): Invalid pname to __numValues: 0x8871



Any hint?

Thank you.

That looks like they're taking advantage of some OpenGL 2.0 features
which haven't hit the Chromium tree yet.

Not true.

Chromium 1.9 supports OpenGL 1.5.

Hi,

In a previous cluster installation both applications where running OK in
XDMX and Chromium.

Which packages has to do with OpenGL in REHL?

xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL?
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU?

Which version will be compatible with Chromium, in order for Maya and Amira
display as it should?

Thank you.

This is the main Mesa/OpenGL library.

This the the OpenGL utility function library.

Use the latest versions of both packages.

BTW, If you're using NVIDIA or ATI hardware, you'll need to install 
their driver packages after the above.

See if this patch to crserverlib/get_sizes.py helps.

Hi Brian,

Yes it worked, thank you.

Now we are experiencing an odd behaviour: Yesterday Amira worked, but Maya
did not. Today Maya is running and Amira is not.
We have deleted the cr-1.9 tree, decompressed the tar file, applied again
the patch and compiled and Amira is not running (XDMX+Chromium+Amira). Amira
is running fine on Chromium, but without XDMX (yesterday it worked with
XDMX, but Maya did not).

The previous error in Maya no longer appears, but the menus are not working,
if you click on a menu it stays there and never disappears.

We even have rebooted the machine, and recompiled several times... i don't
understand this behaviour.

Tried with different versions of nvidia drivers. Can't reproduce how to make
work one o.k.


Thank you.
