Problem with OpenGL initialization on Ubuntu Linux

Hi all,

A user of the software that I develop, ran into the following error when starting the application.

I read/found somewhere on the net that this might be related to the OpenGL drivers on Linux and particularly drivers for AMD/ATI graphical cards/chips. Is this problem known? And is the information that I found of any value as far as you know? Do you know a solution perhaps ?

Hello

Please can you be more accurate concerning the hardware?

Please look at this:

Hi Julien,

Thank you very much for your quick response.

The graphical card is a ATI card, so this is very likely the know bug.

I will try to use the Fat jar with the bug fix and will report back if all is okay now.

Thanks again ;-)

You're welcome. Your end user is probably using a Mesa driver with an ATI graphics card but if the problem persists, I will need more accurate information.
