MX 17/18 Repository: The FreeCAD Thread

[richb]

The machine it fails on for me has an AMD A8 7600 FM2+ CPU with integrated R7 Graphics.

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
freecad: ../../src/xcb_io.c:259: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
Aborted

You might try to run it with this workaround:

Code: Select all

env LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=true freecad

as mentioned here : Re: xcb problem when starting new build of freecad

FreeCAD has installed without problems on a 10 year old ASUS mobo with a two core Intel CPU.
Still reading the great heap of documentation so have not tried out as yet.

I remember that the AMD GPUs also had trouble with obs-studio. According to the Arch wiki, the radeon and amdgpu drivers should both be supporting DRI 3 by default, though--oh wait, it's DRI 3 that is causing the problem for those GPUs and FreeCAD, not the lack of it. Never mind...

In that link I quoted above, I might have read somebody solved it on Suse with downgrading mesa. So might be it is also related to a not yet fixed issue in mesa.

It run for me in terminal with

Code: Select all

LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=true freecad

issue is with dri3... no fix as yet but this woiks for now...

[Stevo]

It doesn't seem to like AMD GPUs, it seems...
