GLEW cannot initialize

Ask Fedora
1

Hello,

I am using an application using GLEW: Rack (from the audinux COPR repository).
This application is working fine on F41 but on F42, it refuses to start because it cannot initialize GLEW because GLEW requires OpenGL 2.0 at least. The driver used is Intel and a priori has a better OpenGL support (checked via glxinfo).
So, I tried various things and after a while, I tried to start the application as root. And the application started.
So, I was wondering if a change has been introduced in F42 related to permissions and graphics ?

Thanks, I will check.
I was able to print the error message returned after the glewInit: Unknown Error
Certainly the most informative error message in the world … :slight_smile:
