"Failed to create OpenGL context..."

[davidr...@gmail.com]

Hello, I've just installed version 2.6 and am getting the following error when I try to open:

Failed to create OpenGL cotext for format QSurfaceFormat...

Install a driver providing OpenGL 2.0 or higher, or, if this is not possible, make sure the ANGLE Open GL ES 2.0 emulation libraries are available in the application executable's directory or in a location listed in PATH.

I have already downloaded the drivers suggested by mnemosyne. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My father in law has been using Mnemosyne for the few years on old Windows 10 laptop.

After installation of 2.6.1 version (with prior manual uninstall of 2.6) it started to display the same message.

I have unsuccesfully tried different solutions suggested in Internet: install graphics drivers (difficult, because last supported by Intel driver was developed for Windows7), install unsinged drivers, install DirectX 9,10, install Angle OpenGL libraries etc.

After the few days I have found temporary workaround:
1. I uninstalled M 2.6.1.
2. I installed M 2.5 - this version worked without any problems.
3. I installed M 2.6.1 WITHOUT UNINSTALLATION of 2.5.

I surmise that problem is the result of e.g. misconfiguration of Qt5, and not old or missing drivers.
Now M 2.6.1 works without problems, besides startup time - it lasts about 1 minute - quite long.

Regards,
Wojtek

Thanks for posting this workaround!

2.5 is bundled with an older version of Qt. I'll try to look if there are files left over from 2.5 if you install 2.6.1 on top of it. The long startup time might be related to this issue as well...

Cheers,

Peter

Hi,

This version should come with some missing libraries:

Feedback would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Peter
