Description

[Edmund Wong (:ewong)]

When vnc'd into cb-sea-miniosx64-03, and I enter |glxinfo|, I get the following:

cb-sea-miniosx64-03:~ seabld$ glxinfo
name of display: /tmp/launch-LojaDe/:0
Thu Jul  5 20:13:51 cb-sea-miniosx64-03.comm-build.scl1.mozilla.com glxinfo[1009] <Error>: unknown error code: invalid pixel format
Thu Jul  5 20:13:51 cb-sea-miniosx64-03.comm-build.scl1.mozilla.com glxinfo[1009] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.
X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
  Major opcode of failed request:  0 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  16
  Current serial number in output stream:   16
  
|glxinfo -v -t -i| prints out the same thing.

Aj (from #it) pointed out that it should run X11 to gather information.
But apparently X11 didn't like something and failed.

Googling suggests some sort of graphics driver issue.

...Theory, perhaps these systems need dongle's attached?

Comment 2

[Adrian J Fernandez [:Aj]]

Just a general update.

Callek maybe correct (can't verify this as well not physically in the dc) but cb-sea-miniosx02.comm-build.scl1.mozilla.com

is using the same GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 as cb-sea-miniosx64-03

However, cb-sea-miniosx64-03 is running Mac OS X 10.6.2 while cb-sea-miniosx02 running
10.5.8

Perhaps issue is with the driver(s).

talos-r4-snow-001:~ cltbld$ glxinfo 
Error: unable to open display 

I'm not sure what you expect that to do, since this is a mac and thus doesn't run X11?

(I don't think this is actionable for dcops yet, but I have nowhere better to put it..)

We can swing by SCL1 tomorrow to check if the display dongles/adapters are attached.

:dustin see my previous reply.

As for your particular error, if you are running this via SSH, it won't work (needs to be done via vnc or pass the x display variable to it).

cb-sea-miniosx02.comm-build.scl1.mozilla.com is a mac (mini), it's running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and glxinfo does indeed work.

mac's do run X11; http://support.apple.com/downloads/X11_for_Mac_OS_X_1_0

I could also run glxinfo on my mac book pro. Hopefully the dongles/adapters are the culprit.

Comment 6

[Adrian J Fernandez [:Aj]]

Vinh confirmed that the dongles weren't connected, now they are.

I have verified that glxinfo now works on all three minis.
