GiD 12 crashes X on linux 64 bit

GiD Installation
1

Hi all,

I have just downloaded GiD 12 for linux 64 bit. It makes the whole X server crash systematically when I use the file browser to open a result file, for instance. Tried also with the last development version and in safe mode. Did anyone experience the same? I am using CentOS 6 with the last nvidia drivers.

Regards,

Update: I have just realized that it also crashes on GiD 11

It crash simply opening the ‘file browser’ window or if crash when reading the result?
In the second case, it happen with all kind of results file? (e.g. some file of our examples folder)
Maybe it crash when drawing the results. Can try to change some OpenGL drawing preference, e.g.
Utilities->Preferences… Graphical-System- Method (change from ‘Vertex buffer objects’ to ‘Immediate mode’)

Well, today it crashed when I just opened the “File” menu. No, I don’t think it is related to loading results.

Try to reset all GiD preferences

deleted .gidDefaults, restarted in safe mode. It not only crashes when I click to “open” a result file, but also when I click to “save” a model.

weird

This is totally random, I managed to open a result file doing “open with…” from a right-click menu in nautilus. Then it crashed while I was playing with the model.

You said that it is a Linux x64 GiD version, but what is the exact version of GiD?
12.0.8 (current official)? 12.1.8d (last developer)?
(see Help->About…)

Hi,
which version of Linux are you using?
can you post the output of ‘uname -a’ and ‘cat /etc/issue’ ?
can you start GiD from a console/terminal and then tell us what message is printed?

best,

cat /etc/issue

I tried to launch gid from the command line but when X crashes I get no message whatsoever, even if I redirect both stdout and stderr to a file.

what about is the exact version of GiD? showed with Help->About…
have you tried both versions 12.0.x official and 12.1.xd developer?

I have tried with both stable 12.0.8 and development 12.1.8d and they both crash X. I also tried with GiD 11 and it did the same.
It is driving me insane. The workaround I’m using is connecting to my workstation via ssh and X11 forwarding, at the expense of usability, of course.
