Gid 10 & 11 does not start on ubuntu 18.04

GiD Installation

Hello

When I start gid11 there is no error message and gid does not start. Starting gid 10 gives the following error message:
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing

Serial number of failed request: 887

The system is Ubuntu 18.04 x64

small update: after removing .gidDefaults, only gid 11 is not working

Hi kstn,
It seems that there is a problem with your graphics driver.
Try using ‘gidx’ instead of ‘gid’. gidx will start gid in safe mode, i.e. using software rendering.
If GiD is installed in

$HOME/gid11.1.8d

, then just launch

$HOME/gid11.1.8d/gidx

Best and Thanks,

Miguel Pasenau

Hi kstn,
this is very strange.
Can you please, open a terminal and execute

./gid -noredirect
./gidx -noredirect

and tell us what are the messages?

if nothing appears then do:

rm -rf /tmp/gid*
./gid
./gidx
cat /tmp/gid*/*

(GiD redirects stdout and stderror to temporary files)

you’re using gid 11.1.8d x64 on your ubuntu 18.04, right?

thanks,

miguel
