Title: Warning message when starting QB64 via ./run_QB64.sh in ElementryOs
Post by: SMcNeill on November 05, 2018, 07:28:41 am
On ElementryOs, starting qb64 gives the following warnings:


Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. me@me-VirtualBox:~/Downloads/qb64$ ./run_qb64.sh
  2. me@me-VirtualBox:~/Downloads/qb64$ OpenGL Warning: glXChooseVisual: bad attrib=0x186a0, ignoring
  3. OpenGL Warning: glXChooseVisual: bad attrib=0x186a1, ignoring
  4. OpenGL Warning: glXChooseVisual: bad attrib=0x186a0, ignoring
  5. OpenGL Warning: glXChooseVisual: bad attrib=0x186a1, ignoring
  6. OpenGL Warning: vboxCall failed with VBox status code VERR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW

Things still start and run, however.  I just thought I'd share in case anybody had an idea what these were for and why they show up.

Missed one:

OpenGL Warning: No pincher, please call crStateSetCurrentPointers() in your SPU

This is programming; we don't care about warnings, only errors ;)

On a more serious note,  would you mind changing the topic name to something a more informative and less scary?

Better?

I guess I'm just odd; the other topic name "QB64 start warning" seemed just as good and informative to me. After all, it is nothing more than a start warning...

I just thought I'd mention it as today's warnings are often tomorrow's errors.  A little heads up in advance.  ;)

If that's not a "real" quote yet then it is now! Instant gold. Worthy of the Unix museum if you ask me.

If this was a quote contest, I'd say your submission would come in 137th, but to a theoretical physicist, that's  better than #1.

and to a quantum physicist it can be both 137th and #1 at the same time!

Yeah
and in the electric/magnetic language that is binary it is NOT 1 NOT 0
