@doutriaux1 can you provide more context here? Was it via SSH or direct render on your system? Looks like X is seg-faulting. Also what drive you are using?

[doutriaux1]

direct render on my system. Do you mean driver? I have no idea. Which command should I run. I agree that it seems X11 related though.

[danlipsa]

glxinfo will give you info about the driver.

[doutriaux1]

glxinfo
The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

After installing I get the attached output.
glxinfo.txt

[doutriaux1]

looks like 1.4?

[danlipsa]

You can try to install the hardware driver to see if that fixes it. Usually the Mesa driver has more problems than the hardware driver. When we have our test infrastructure we should expect to have certain tests disabled on certain machines. Usually there is a cost - benefit evaluation: Is it worth to make a certain test run correctly on a certain machine if it passes on all other machines and it seems to be a driver problem and not a memory overwrite problem? We do that in VTK/ParaView.

[aashish24]

Looks like @doutriaux1 is getting 3.0 (see below).

OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 11.0.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:

@doutriaux1 can you run glxgears?

[doutriaux1]

yep

glxgears 
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
224 frames in 5.0 seconds = 44.664 FPS
235 frames in 5.0 seconds = 46.996 FPS
233 frames in 5.0 seconds = 46.491 FPS
248 frames in 5.0 seconds = 49.393 FPS

[aashish24]

@doutriaux1 is this from the GUI? or command line

[aashish24]

Sorry this is a test so no gui. And this is the only test failing / segfaulting?
