-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: abiword: Crashes on startup with GLib-ERROR (Bug #909015) Datum: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 09:00:08 +0200 Von: Joachim H. Kaiser <jhkai...@web.de> An: Bernhard Übelacker <bernha...@mailbox.org> Hallo Bernhard, supplementing my last email, I could successfully start and use AbiWord now: I switched the system GLX provider from NIVIDIA to Mesa and rebooted the system. Then, AbiWord started. The only error message reported at start-up was (abiword:3531): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_render_background: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_CONTEXT (context)' failed However, I could load a document without any further error message. At the next start-up this error message was not repeated. Obviously, AbiWord needs a working GLX environment -- like the Gnome Shell, which however incorporates Gallium3D LLVMpipe to allow it to run without a proper 3D hardware driver loaded. In my case, I guess, if AbiWord does not find GLX, it tries to do without it but needs a lot of memory to accomplish this. Again, many thanks for your efforts. Have a nice day -- Joachim
