[Qt][WK2] MiniBrowser crashes on startup (in some environments)

• Component: WebKit Qt
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Balazs Kelemen]

The funny thing is that it is happening in the environment of the Szeged WK2 bot (despite WTR and testing works there).

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

QtTestBrowser has a problem with startup as well.

Note that I'm trying to run MiniBrowser with X forwarding.

For me this version works locally on 64bit, so this might be a local issue of yours.

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

It isn't funny thing. :) It works for me on the buildbot machine with X forwarding. (with XMing from my Windows machine)

The problem must be in your machine.

Ok, it is a very very basic opengl issue that can be triggered by this super-dummy code:
#include <gl.h>

int main()
{
    glGetString(460);

    return 0;
}

This works for me (does nothing) locally and crashes in the environment where MiniBrowser is crashing. It's time to update the libgl packages...

[Balazs Kelemen]

With an updated qt5 the issue is still exists but it's not regarded with libGL anymore. I have filed a bug riport for Qt: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-21880.
I keep the status as invalid since it is not a WebKit issue anyway (for example all the Qt examples are also crashing in that evnironment).
