Problems with macOS Sonoma 14.4 beta

Hello,

I currently have problems with Scilab (see callstack of crash at the end of this message) after an upgrade to macOS 14.4 beta and I presume it's a general problem in jogamp_nativewindow_macosx (not just with Scilab, which uses latests 2.5.0 version of jogl). Is there an HelloWorld program using joGL that I can use to provide a simple test ?

I have found the following related links (astropixel also uses jogl):

https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/release-information/astro-pixel-processor-2-0-0-beta28-release-notes/
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-6180

Seems that disabling metal at compilation could fix the problem.

OK, thx for the heads up.
If you can add a bugreport with these details it helps.

We would need a budget to resolve certain issues at least,
i.e. this bug, the other windows/amd etc etc
https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1484

Not to mention overall support for the products of the commercial
or semi-commercial entities.

Simple following java code also fails with the same stacktrace (attached)Screenshot_2024-02-07_at_14.png

It has been fixed in latest 14.4 beta (23E5191e).

Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Hi all,

Just providing some additional information here:

I am the developer of Astro Pixel Processor, I can confirm that macOS Sonoma 14.4 beta1 was the cause indeed, our user reported that the problem was gone in 14.4 beta2.

But I can also confirm that macOS Sonoma in general seems to have many more issues, we needed to disable metal for java2d to prevent our application from crashing at application startup on all the macOS Sonoma versions. We needed to set both:

-Dsun.java2d.metal=false
-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true

to have a working application again on Sonoma and it seems hardware specific, it did work on most macs, but not on all with metal enabled.

Kind regards,
Mabula

Do such crashes occur with NEWT?

I would not know, we use GLJPanel and GLCanvas. But to me it looks like that Sonoma is just very problematic/buggy on many aspects which is very frustrating. It is clear for me that the metal framework does not work properly all of a sudden on some macs with Sonoma installed, other applications seem to suffer as well. And before Sonoma all was working with the same JDK and JOGL versions.
