Hi, recently my kde neon upgrade to Plasma 6.2 based in ubuntu 24 and wayland as graphic server.
Since then, I have the message

> (VESTA-gui:513657): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 14:54:39.170: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkNotebook

and if I select an atom, the system crashed with a classic
> Segmentation fault (core dumped)

any ideas, suggestions. Right now i can't use anymore the program.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

I was able to run VESTA JP-minerals Software with all the versions, even the one of the 20th Octobre 2024, after I got " Segmentation fault (core dumped)" problem when I click on the atoms or the bonds.

Try to follow the next instructions and I think it will be fine.

First insure that you install the following OpenGL libraries, or update them by pasting the following commands on your terminal (Note : do all these instruction on the same terminal, or shell) :

sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libglew-dev
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

After that you need to add the line below to your '' .bashrc '' file, for my case I use <vim> text editor == >  vi ~/.bashrc  :

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

save the changes and finish with the next command to reload the file :

source ~/.bashrc

Then you run VESTA software, it should work fine. 

My bests.
