AMD startup fix
Posted: 09 Jan 2018 00:09
Hello,
When starting Gephi 0.9.2 on my computer (AMD Ryzen 7, AMD Radeon RX 580, Linux 17.10, Java 1.8.0_152), it would reach "Starting Modules", hang for a bit and then crash. The gephi log (/.gephi/0.9.2/dev/var/log) indicated the following error had occurred "java.lang.InternalError: XXX0 profile[1]: GL3bc -> profileImpl GL4bc !!! not mapped". Adding the line "export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1" to the beginning of the gephi-0.9.2/etc/gephi.conf, allows Gephi to start. If I understand correctly, LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 forces software rendering.
Is this a good way to start Gephi on an AMD system or will this cause other issues when running Gephi?
Thank you,
Paul
