Bug #1125
Handling missing OpenGL support during launch
0%
Description
First of all, Allura as commit browser utterly sucks.
This might be already fixed in the repo, but as it is, I can't tell without 'git clone'.
I've just built 1.11.0, got hit by '-reconfig' problem, but following is independent (tested by moving .doomsday dir).
(it may matter: Qt 4.8.5)
All I'm getting from doomsday is a segfault right as the loading wheel is about to completely fill.
The backtrace isn't very enlightening (there's a noticeable lack of debugging symbols in doomsday - I might fix that, but not sure it it helps):

On the other hand, there's little that can fail in FontLineWrapping::font().

- did you rerun qmake so that the latest defaultstyle.pack is included in the doomsday.pk3?
+ did you do a full rebuild? ("make clean" first)
The build was done straight from the tarball, so unless it was packaged wrong, it was clean.
- did you ensure there are no system-wide copies of the libdeng* or other such libraries, which might have been mixed up into the build?
Err...though I don't think so, if that was the case, it would still be a build system bug, as it should ensure the new libs are picked first.
- do you have the "Liberation Sans" font?
Of course not. Why should I have any particular font installed, if QtGui is using fontconfig and should be able to pick a reasonable fallback ?
PS.: Allura is formating this post stupidly - it might be hard to read.
PPS.: correction, it's just the preview, that's broken.

Updated by Let's first rule out possible build/data problems:

- did you do a full rebuild? ("make clean" first)
- did you ensure there are no system-wide copies of the libdeng* or other such libraries, which might have been mixed up into the build?

Indeed: [#1120]
So you are saying everything was linked against the correct libraries?
Would you mind doing a debug build (CONFIG+=debug) and checking if gdb reveals any extra information about the crash, if it still occurs?

You are right, a fallback is picked and this does not matter...

No, I didn't said that. Regardless, even rebuilding after 1.11.0 is already installed doesn't make a change, so it would be an independent problem.
Would you mind doing a debug build (CONFIG+=debug)...
A minor note here: unless I'm missing something (I don't really use qmake), this seems to require editing config.pri, cause config_user.pri comes too late to take effect.
If I only make sure '-g' is passed, the only real new info is
'0x081e7306 in FontLineWrapping::font (this=0x0)', which was sort of already obvious.
If, on the other hand, I do enough edits to recreate that debug entry in config_user.pri, the built executable is pretty much useless for me.
On this hardware, I need to run with '-noglcheck' - it still worked in 1.10.
On non-debug build, among the console output is:
ClientWindow > Bank > Bank::Job: Failed to load "generic.textured.color" from source:
[AllocError] (GLShader::alloc) Failed to create shader
ClientWindow: Error when initializing widget '':
[LoadError] (Bank::data) Failed to load "generic.textured.color"
^ > Bank > Bank::Job: Failed to load "generic.textured.color" from source:
[AllocError] (GLShader::alloc) Failed to create shader
ClientWindow: Error when initializing widget '':
[LoadError] (Bank::data) Failed to load "generic.textured.color"
^ > Bank > Bank::Job: Failed to load "generic.textured.color" from source:
[AllocError] (GLShader::alloc) Failed to create shader
ClientWindow: Error when initializing widget '':
[LoadError] (Bank::data) Failed to load "generic.textured.color"
but the program continues, with debug build, that's an assert right there, long before anywhere close to last crash.

That certainly sounds like your OpenGL version is older than the required 2.0. Since you are running with -noglcheck, it looks like there isn't much to do here apart from replacing the crash with a graceful fatal error.
We'll be keeping 1.10.x around for some time still, where the OpenGL requirement is 1.4. The 1.10.4 release will be available this week or early next week.
CONFIG+=debug
This can be done on the command line when running qmake, as in qmake -r ../doomsday/doomsday.pro CONFIG+=debug

Well, I must mention, that back in 1.10, I was already running with '-noglcheck', but nothing seemed noticeably broken back then.
I've tried a more hamfisted approach to the sources, but the furthermost I got was a graceful shutdown at '(Bank::data) Failed to load "fx.blur.horizontal"', so I declare 1.11 a bust on this machine.
Even getting that far required adding quite a few '!=0' checks in that ui code.

- Tags set to Graphics, OpenGL
- Subject changed from doomsday segfaults before it really starts to Handling missing OpenGL support during launch
- Category set to User experience
- Priority changed from Normal to Low
- Target version deleted (
1.11)
Changed priority to Low because the OpenGL version check must be manually disabled for this situation to occur.
