[Solved] APP 1.077 not run on Kubuntu 18.04 LTS  

Hello Mabula, I don't know if it helps but there is a new version. Mesa 20 this is a developer version( https://www.mesa3d.org/relnotes/20.0.0.html ), which can be integrated into Ubuntu based Linux OS via PPA. For example ( https://launchpad.net/~kisak/+archive/ubuntu/kisak-mesa )

In the link is an installation guide and description.

Hello Mabula, today I installed APP 1.077 on my old PC with AMD HD6870 graphics card with current Ubuntu. APP doesn't start, not even with the developer version of Mesa 20. When I start APP from the command line I get the same messages as Pekdar.

With kind regards

Hi @minusman,

Thanks, so that confirms that using Mesa 20 is no solution, the bug is still there.

You will need to use the Linux versions without OpenGL, there is a unresolved fatal bug between the OpenGL Library and Mesa drivers on AMD/ATI graphics chips. The bug has been reported upstream to the OpenGL library developers.

Download 1.077.6 for Linux without OpenGL, that should start without problems.

Hi @minusman,

I've installed Mesa 20 yesterday and I have the same result, bug is still there. We need to wait patiently for bugfix. You can follow thread on bugzilla with jogl, the link you can find in few posts earlier as you know 😉

Hi pekdar @pekdar & @minusman,

Maybe the OpenGL library developers have a solution to the Linux OpenGL(3) mesa bug.

I can now build a test version with a possible solution and full debugging enabled for the both of you which could help us more. Are you willing to try this solution and report back to me? If yes, I will build it tomorrow and send the both of you download links to test it.

You can follow the bug here:

Kind regards,

Mabula

Hello Mabula, I'd like to try it sometime.

@mabula-admin

Sure! prepare a test version and send to me a link with download.

Hi @minusman & @pekdar,

Thank you very much.

Please try this first:

download this file: jogamp-fat.jar to your linux machine:

https://apastropixelprocessordl.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/jogamp-fat.jar

Open a terminal/console:

make sure java is installed on your linux machine:

execute java -version, should give something like this:

mabula@LinuxMintVirt:/opt/AstroPixelProcessor$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_202"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode)

If java is not installed, simply install the default java for your distribution, the java version is not relevant at this moment.

Now go to the folder where you downloaded the jogamp-fat.jar file and execute this:

java -Dnewt.debug=all -Dnativewindow.debug=all -Djogl.debug=all -Djogamp.debug=all -jar jogamp-fat.jar 2> debug_logs_[your-name].txt

mabula@LinuxMintVirt:~/Downloads$

The command will output a large text file with debugging information that hopefully gives the answers that we need to solve this. In my case, the txt file is the file: debug_logs_mabula.txt

Please send your debug file to me as an email attachment and I will make sure that the OpenGL library developers will receive it a.s.a.p.. Please send it to : support@astropixelprocessor.com

Thank you in advance 😉 let's solve this !

Thanks a lot @pekdar,

Have already sent it to the OpenGL library developer 😉

Mabula

Hello Mabula, I can only send you the results in two days. I'm still away on business.
As soon as I am at home, I will execute the debug file and send you the result.

With kind regards

Hello Manuela, I sent the debug file.

Thanks, I'm sure he'll be using it. 😉

Hello Manuela, I sent the debug file.

Hi @minusman,

I have received it 😉 thanks a lot.

I have sent it forward to the OpenGL library developer.

Hopefully, this will solve the issue.

Mabula

Hi @minusman & @pekdar,

Please download this patched jar file that might have solved the problem :

https://apastropixelprocessordl.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/jogamp-fat.jar

And execute the same command again on the jar file for debugging:

Now go to the folder where you downloaded the jogamp-fat.jar file and execute this:

java -Dnewt.debug=all -Dnativewindow.debug=all -Djogl.debug=all -Djogamp.debug=all -jar jogamp-fat.jar 2> debug_logs_[your-name].txt

And...., please send your debug file to me as an email attachment and I will make sure that the OpenGL library developers will receive it a.s.a.p.. Please send it to : support@astropixelprocessor.com

From this debug file, the OpenGL library developers will now if the problem has been fixed or not on your systems.

Thanks in advance 😉

Hi @mabula-admin

Check your mailbox 😉

Check your mailbox, Mabula.

Thanks guys!

Hi @pekdar & @minusman,

We are getting there 😉 but we are not there yet...

Please download this further adjusted jar with even more debug logs so we can solve this and understand fully what is happening:

https://apastropixelprocessordl.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/jogamp-fat.jar

And execute the same command again on the jar file for debugging:

Now go to the folder where you downloaded the jogamp-fat.jar file and execute this:

java -Dnewt.debug=all -Dnativewindow.debug=all -Djogl.debug=all -Djogamp.debug=all -jar jogamp-fat.jar 2> debug_logs_[your-name].txt

And...., please send your debug file to me as an email attachment and I will make sure that the OpenGL library developers will receive it a.s.a.p.. Please send it to : support@astropixelprocessor.com

The OpenGL library developer is definitely getting to the bottom of this now so I think we are nearly there ;-)... thank you both for your cooperation, from me and from the OpenGl lib developer 😉
