Cura: could not create shader / coredump on 15.06.1 + Ubuntu 64 15.04

Created on 2 Jul 2015 · 20Comments · Source: Ultimaker/Cura

Just downloaded Cura 64-bits 15.06.1 from http://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software
Installed ok on Ubuntu 64-bits 15.04 (had to uninstall libprotobuf-dev and a bunch of other -dev packages though).
When I try to run it, though, it spits out:

On my systems (all running debian with nVidia cards/drivers) in addition to "from OpenGL import GL" you also need to have "from OpenGL import GLU" or you will get errors about missing attributes (note: import GLU before GL)

What video card do you have (and what drivers?)

Note that all OpenGL programs work, including Cura up to 15.04.

Patola on 2 Jul 2015

Cura 15.04 used an older OpenGL.

nallath on 3 Jul 2015

Just tried on another computer with Ubuntu 15.04 64 bits, same thing. I have also tried to erase the old ~/.cura settings directory to no avail. I am unable to run the newer Cura...

Patola on 3 Jul 2015

Unfortunately it seems the entire Qt OpenGL stack crashes for you. Can you provide what glxinfo outputs for your card?

awhiemstra on 6 Jul 2015

I am pasting the glxinfo output of 2 machines where this problem occurs, both with Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit. The first one is the computer where the output I pasted to this ticket occured.

Since github does not support non-image attachments, I am pasting it to pastebin:

Computer 1: http://pastebin.com/xDNL5ymS
Computer 2: http://pastebin.com/pLGPCAH8

Patola on 7 Jul 2015

Can you install the package pyqt5-examples and try and run some of those related to QtQuick?

awhiemstra on 9 Jul 2015

I can't. They keep spitting the same type of errors. Maybe it's the lack of some libraries?

This is my list of packages installed. Which qt5 library may be lacking? https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Patola/ed260bf2ada194cd62f1/raw/my%20list%20of%20packages%20for%20cura%20issue%20%2388

Patola on 10 Jul 2015

This seems to be related to a nvidia bug with pyqt4 / 5. Bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-qt4/+bug/941826

It seems that using "from OpenGL import GL" makes it work.
I tried with the sample applications, e.g. chapter1-basics from pyqt5-examples and this made it work.
I have tried to insert "from OpenGL import GL" into cura_app.py and CuraApplication.py but it didn't work (couldn't find module OpenGL).

Patola on 10 Jul 2015

Hurray! I installed python3-opengl and modified /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cura/CuraApplication.py by adding "from OpenGL import GL" and it worked! Finally! Should I fork and make a push request?

Patola on 10 Jul 2015

There you go, my first pull request ever :P https://github.com/Patola/Cura/commit/a4287925618fd722347102fdbdc40b35ccc295a0

Well, I think I'd have to also add python3-opengl to the debian control file (depends:).

Patola on 10 Jul 2015

Fixed my previous pull request with this one - https://github.com/Patola/Cura/commit/a00f10ae921632d44b3c9cb986a739301527974f

I don't know if it worked. I hope so. I am still new at this.

Patola on 11 Jul 2015

Hi Patola,

I'm suffering from the same bug... could you tell me which packages you installed? Because with your fix, I'm getting a "no module named OpenGL"

Greetings, Thomas
