OpenGL error during render

[cjayross]

When doing the command:

terminalizer render example.yml

I receive this error:

Error: 
  Error: [31871:1208/233517.072099:ERROR:buffer_manager.cc(488)] [.DisplayCompositor]GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_OPERATION : glBufferData: <- error from previous GL command


Hint:
  Use the --help option to get help about the usage

Here is my OS info:

Linux 4.19.85-1-MANJARO x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm also running an AMD card with mesa 19.2.6-0.1

@cjayross resolve this?

[cjayross]

I don't quite understand what I'm looking at here. Though, it seems it might actually be a result of my compositor? I have no idea.

I have the same problem. Does someone know how to fix this?

[barbossa]

I've found a quick temporary solution.

1. You need find the folder where terminalizer have been installed. In my case it was - /home/barbossa/.nvm/versions/node/v10.13.0/lib/node_modules
2. Open terminalizer/render/index.js and before this line app.on('ready', createWindow); you need add new line: app.disableHardwareAcceleration();

After this edits, your file will be look like this:

// Hide the Dock for macOS
if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
  app.dock.hide();
}

app.disableHardwareAcceleration(); // <-- new code line

// When the app is ready
app.on('ready', createWindow);

This option disabled GPU areacceleration, more info here https://electronjs.org/docs/api/app#appdisablehardwareacceleration.

But I think we should find more elegant solution

Thanks, this solved the error not happening. Now however render just hangs and does not do anything.

Seems like a lot of issues trying just trying to get this to work.

The tool requires a GUI os

[cjayross]

@faressoft What do you mean a GUI OS? That's not a thing. I was having this issue using Manjaro which uses Xorg.

[ljesparis]

should be an option to desable hardware acceleration, don't you think? =)

Thanks @barbossa for this workaround. Works for me on Linux Ubuntu 👍

Every time when I was switching my node environment using nvm had to do this again and again. I wrote a 1 liner and paste it on my terminal whenever I get this error. Just thought of putting it here as this is where google search puts us when we encounter this issue.

RENDER_FILE="$(which terminalizer | sed 's|/[^/]*$||')/../lib/node_modules/terminalizer/render/index.js"; grep -c disableHardwareAcceleration $RENDER_FILE || sed -i '32i app.disableHardwareAcceleration(); // <-- new code line' $RENDER_FILE

@barbossa's fix worked on this issue for me, but now it's saying The display compositor is frequently crashing. Goodbye..
