Problem plotting - Githubissues

jdigjudy commented 8 years ago

Hi - I'm new to UV-CDAT and am having trouble - not sure if it's from the installation or from my beginner's errors. It's running on a Linux x86_64 box. Version: v2.5.0-304-gde21daf

I'm just stepping through examples, but when I drag/drop variables over and then a plotting method, regardless of plotting method chosen, it shortly crashes with this: /usr/local/uvcdat/bin/uvcdat: line 64: 23030 Aborted (core dumped) python2.7 "/usr/local/uvcdat/vistrails/vistrails/uvcdat.py" "$@" >> $target 2>&1

I'm not trying to do anything fancy - I've just selected one of the sample data files, chosen a variable or two, and a plotting method. Appreciate any insight.

@jdigjudy can you output to a log file and send it here:

uvcdat --output="uvcdat.log"

Are you still having display issues?

jdigjudy commented 8 years ago

No display issues, but no successful plots yet!

Here's what the log says when I uvcdat --output="uvcdat.log" Looks like we're still missing something.

[jgaukel@hunter:~] $more uvcdat.log ERROR: In /root/uvcdatGIT/build-uvcdat/build/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 613 vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x751f940): GLX not found. Aborting.

I've checked my local machine for mesa-libGL, mesa-libGL-devel and they are up to date. yum list vncserver comes up without matching anything -- what am I missing?

aashish24 commented 8 years ago

Are you using vnc?

jdigjudy commented 8 years ago

No.

@aashish24 Please add me to the hangout

aashish24 commented 8 years ago

@doutriaux1 I will add you to the hangout. the problem is that this machine has Matrox graphics card plus has missing xorg.conf and we are trying to do interactive plotting (not bg=1).

aashish24 commented 8 years ago

@doutriaux1 I will add you to the hangout today. The problem is that this server is using Matrox graphics card and does not have xorg.conf.

So, if I work without the GUI at all, using python (just typed in the example) -- does that also need the graphics card? Is this the same issue?

If so -- I'm trying to find another way around -- I'm working on installing it on my CentOS (NVIDIA) box, and then trying to mount the server with the lame graphics card...
