After some tests, I see the same error in VirtualBox with Ubuntu 9.04b2 x386. After some investigation, the cause is (for both 9.04b2 x86 and amd64) the presence of drm modules added by "virtual box guest additions" while the checkbox "3D acceleration" is not ticked in VM preferences. I also learn that you cannot tick "3D acceleration" on many VM at the same time (even if they are not launched at the same time).
So if 3D acceleration is not ticked (or automatically unticked by vbox), launching Ubuntu with the guest addition modules that enable direct rendering makes glxinfo crash at session start. If you launch glxinfo "manually" (term) in these conditions, the first lines diplay a warning about driect rendering not possible then you get all glxinfo stuff. Conclusion : a small bug remain : if glxinfo is able to display a warning without crashing when launched in a term, why does it crash at session start ? -- glxinfo crashed with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185785 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
