Can anyone help me decipher a couple exceptions?

I have a couple exceptions that I got via automated bug reporting from users. The first one has a lot of information, so much that I can not really figure out what it is trying to tell me.

First exception, on Linux:

Hi Bill

I had the same problems some months ago in Ardor3D. Some drivers are not very ... tolerant, especially under Windows. You have to be very strict in your threading, the OpenGL context must be made current on the same thread than the one on which it had been created.

This kind of error happened even earlier in my case:
http://www.ardor3d.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=274&start=100#p15194
It is exactly the same error than your second one.

You can have a look at my source code, especially the class JoglAwtCanvas:
http://sourceforge.net/p/ardor3d-jogl2/code/81/tree/trunk/ardor3d-jogl2/src/main/java/com/ardor3d/framework/jogl/JoglAwtCanvas.java

Please use the very latest build (number 825 or later).

I think I am already doing what you suggest. I create my GLCanvas on my AWT-EventQueue-0 thread, which is the same thread where the exception is happening. Is that correct?

If you were already doing what I suggest, you would not get this exception. Please provide a small test case and reproduce this bug with debug display enabled.

Unfortunately this is a problem for an end user, not on any of my own machines. All the GL stuff is happening on the AWT-EventQueue thread, but thanks for your help!

Please can you at least get some info about the hardware? Someone got this problem under OpenSuse but I never succeeded in reproducing it.

I'd love to.

Is there a way to get the debug output programmatically? I'll have to add something to capture it and include it in our automatic error reporting. If this isn't possible I'll go deeper and replace System.err.

Why not using -Dnewt.debug=all -Dnativewindow.debug=all -Djogl.debug=all ?

The DebugGL and TraceGL pipeline can be controlled  programmatically:

JOGLNewtAppletBase:
        ..
        if(glDebug) {
            try {
                _gl = _gl.getContext().setGL( GLPipelineFactory.create("javax.media.opengl.Debug", null, _gl, null) );
            } catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
        }

        if(glTrace) {
            try {
                // Trace ..
                _gl = _gl.getContext().setGL( GLPipelineFactory.create("javax.media.opengl.Trace", null, _gl, new Object[] { System.err } ) );
            } catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
        }
        ..

The other debug/verbose flags always produce output on stderr.

~Sven

Yes, I want to capture all of those.

JOGL is working perfectly on my 6 dev machines, about a dozen other dev's machines, and for most of the users.

Only a handful out of a few thousand get these errors, and they are not technically inclined. They get a "bug report" window that lets them submit a report to a web service. They would not be able to handle capturing stderr even if the reports weren't anonymous.

Therefore I have to capture and store the debug output in memory in case there is a crash, and then submit it to the web service that catches the automatic bug reports.

Maybe a blog w/ pictures or 'just' here in the forum.

I am sure many are curious, at least I am - and sounds like
it has some potential to learn from.
