[opensuse] kst2 in kde4
kst is a great tool. My first question is why it is in the educational category. It is a proper scientific/engineering tool. educational, to me, conjures up learning French or geography. labPlot is similarly improperly categorized. Now to the real issue. I am trying to run the current version 2 beta on a 4.3.1 kde4 system. However, the app fails with: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Segmentation fault This is true. I do not have glx on the machine in question (ATI FireGL V3300 is not supported by the ATI driver...) Is this a compile flag that openSUSE set so that kst requires this? Or is it a thing kst will always need? I can file a bug if it is a bug. But I am exploring first. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

No, I did a quick google and it seems kst added an OpenGL dependency in its port to KDE 4. I don't know why it crashes. Perhaps you could chase it up on the kst list and open a bug if openSUSE is doing something wrong in our builds? https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kst Will -- Will Stephenson, openSUSE Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - Nürnberg - AG Nürnberg - HRB 16746 - GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did a bug report for a different kst2 issue that is a fatal problem - it will not open data files. The category issue is JM2CW. I can't call a preference difference a bug. The openGL issue is, of course, serious. I was waiting on that until there was a version that would at least work (see bug about opening data files). At that time, I can see if the openGL problem persists. Opening a file at all is a bigger fish. (Sorry for the late reply. There has been ISP madness in these parts. I trust all is sorted.)

I will do this. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
