Tools/Image Viewer is a kipi-plugins. Crash still reproductible with others plugins like Tools/Raw Converter ? Can you give us a backtrace using gdb ? Gilles Caulier Sorry to put the report in the wrong place -- thanks for moving it for me. I have just checked all of the other tools on the menu, and all seem to work just fine. I would be happy to get a backtrace, but don't know how to do so. Could you please give me directions? thanks, --larry the plugin uses the OpenGL non-power-of-two texture extension. Just to make sure your video driver supports this, can you please attach the output of glxinfo? You'll find this command in the mesa package in case mesa isn't already installed Kusi This appears to be the source of the problem, all right. When I try to run glxinfo, I get exactly the same result as I did when I tried to run the ImageViewer -- the X-server crashes and restarts, logging me out. I realize that this is caused by a lack of support in the video driver. It does seem like a rather inelegant failure mode, however :-) Am I missing something in my Xconfig file, or is this the "normally occurring abnormal behaviour?" thanks, --larry your OpenGL subsystem seems to be messed up. Try updating your video drivers or change from the opensource driver (in case you're using this) to the proprietary video driver. Your problem is not related to kde-imaging. good luck! Kusi *** Bug 154213 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This bug seems not to be related to digiKam at all. We should close it though. I meant "not related to kipiplugins"... Yes, this bug needs to be closed. I'm the author of the imageviewer (and obviously a b.k.o newbie), so how do I close this bug? For example: "Resolve bug as WORKSFORME". If you don't have those options available at the bottom of the screen, you might ask for more rights first. I guess sysadmin at kde dot org should be the right mail address for that. Sorry for not closing the bug earlier -- I updated the video driver from the nVidia web site (actually, I moved from Slackware to OpenSuse 10.3 and updated the drivers from the nVidia web site) and the problem went away. I am marking the bug as resolved now. |
