Bug ID: 357755
Summary: Please automatically use
QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL=1, if hardware don't
support OpenGL2
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: opensuse.lietuviu.ka...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Plasma wants OpenGL 2 at hardware level.
Now we will see message like
"Plasma is unable to start as it could not correctly use OpenGL 2.
Please check that your graphic drivers are set up correctly."
But please use QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL=1 , if hardware don't support
OpenGL2: maybe automatically or provide warning dialog and ask for software
rendering.
For example, in Linux, you can just create
/etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env/plasma-check-Qt5-OpenGL2.sh file with content
(and make this file executable):
#!/bin/sh
OPENGL_VERSION=`LANG=C glxinfo | grep '^OpenGL version string: ' | head -n 1 |
sed -e 's/^OpenGL version string: \([0-9]\).*$/\1/g'`
if [ "$OPENGL_VERSION" -lt 2 ]; then
QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL=1
export QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL
fi
Reproducible: Always
