VMTK 1.4 Installation : openGL problem

[DP]

Hi,

I just tried to install VMTK 1.4 on my new computer (Linux, Centos7).

As requested, I :

- installed  glew

- installed  mesa-libOSMesa

- installed  Anaconda

- installed anaconda-client

- updated conda and anaconda-client

- created my python environment with adequate libraries (conda create -n foo -c vmtk python=3.6 itk vtk vmtk)

Everything seemed to be fine, but when I launched my script, I got :

ERROR: In ../Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 797
vtkOSOpenGLRenderWindow (0x2c2f23e0): GL version 2.1 with the gpu_shader4 extension is not supported by your graphics driver but is required for the new OpenGL rendering backend. Please update your OpenGL driver. If you are using Mesa please make sure you have version 10.6.5 or later and make sure your driver in Mesa supports OpenGL 3.2.

Do you have any idea what might be wrong ?

Some more information on my setup :

- my graphic card : OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.59 (which supports GL_EXT_gpu_shader4)

- librairies installed when creating anaconda environment :

Hi David, 

You're the second person to report an issue like this, let me take a look and get back to you in a day or two once I can find a linux box to work on. 

Best,

Rick Izzo

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your quick reply, I am waiting for you to investigate then.
Really appreciate your work,

David

Hi, 

I can confirm this behaviour on Linux Mint 18.3. 

Same anaconda setup as DP. 

Similar GPU and driver:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

OpenGL renderer string: Quadro P2000/PCIe/SSE2

OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 384.130

This error occurs at VTK level. 

Running VTK apps from a locally built VTK v8.1.0 with python2 wrapping does not give this error. 

Cheers,

Fraser

Hi,

I get the same error message on Ubuntu 18.04:

ERROR: In ../Rendering/OpenGL2/

vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 797
vtkOSOpenGLRenderWindow (0x158be80): GL version 2.1 with the gpu_shader4 extension is not supported by your graphics driver but is required for the new OpenGL rendering backend. Please update your OpenGL driver. If you are using Mesa please make sure you have version 10.6.5 or later and make sure your driver in Mesa supports OpenGL 3.2.

Rick, appreciate if you can let us know how we can fix it. Thank you :)

Hi,

A very simple fix:

0. Activate the virtual environment where vmtk is installed in (if not base):

source activate py36vmtk

1. Remove vmtk 1.4 and vtk 8.1 that is installed from vmtk anaconda channel:

conda uninstall vmtk vtk


2. Install vtk 8.1 from a channel other than vmtk:

conda install -c anaconda vtk

3. Install vmtk again:

conda install -c vmtk vmtk




Things should be working now. Based on this, it seems like the issue is with the vtk installation in vmtk anaconda channel. Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thank you for this workaround, it is working like a charm!

Hi Rick,

Could you please let me know if there's been a fix on this issue? The workaround I found is okay for running VMTK, but it is creating problems with a PyQT GUI. I think the community would benefit a lot using VMTK in anaconda with Python 3, so it'd be great if you can do a fix.

Thanks a lot!

[Rick Izzo]

Hi Mi, 

I'm looking into the feasibility of using the anaconda conda-forge channel's VTK package. Using that package has had some success for me. Will update here soon. Sorry about the delayed replies here!

Best,

Rick

[Mi]

Thanks Rick! Looking forward to it! :)

Hi,

I tried the workaround and I am still getting the same issue.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am getting the same error on ubuntu 16.4. Any update on this? 

[Javier Dottori]

Hi, same problem with Ubuntu 18. I think it is relates with make parameters "-DVTK_USE_X=OFF" and "-DVTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA:BOOL=ON" 

https://github.com/vmtk/conda-recipes/blob/master/vtk/build.sh

[Javier Dottori]

Hello everybody, 

The proposed workaround does not work for me. 

I had other problems with anaconda VTK version. In this  comment, author said that VTK7 can toogle offscreen rendering at runtime. 

https://github.com/conda-forge/vtk-feedstock/issues/20#issuecomment-273309745

So it is recommended to set -DVTK_USE_X to ON and use explicit offscreen rendering when it is desired.

I have no actual time to build conda recipes with this change now, but I hope will try it the next week.

Hello,

we're waiting for the new conda-VTK release which will fix the issue

The error was because the vtk from vmtk channel seek for the mesa driver. So Mi's answer should works. But currently another problem is that the vtk version in anaconda channel is 8.2.0. If you run `conda install -c vmtk vmtk` after `conda install -c anaconda vtk`, vtk will be downgraded and reinstalled from vmtk channel again. So the solution is pretty obvious (by making a tiny change to Mi's 2nd step):

2. Install vtk 8.1 from a channel other than vmtk:

conda install -c anaconda vtk=8.1.0

Check your packages via `conda list` after installing vmtk. If it works you will find:

vmtk                      1.4.0            py36hfe14cac_1    vmtk

vtk                       8.1.0           py36h969b564_201    anaconda

Hi,

I am hitting the same error and Mi's workaround actually solves the problem.

Here is my setup info:

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 430.50

OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 NVIDIA 430.50

I installed itk, vtk, vmtk through Anaconda vmtk channel in my local vmtk conda environment. Here is the error message:

ERROR: In ../Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 797

vtkOSOpenGLRenderWindow (0x2d60970): GL version 2.1 with the gpu_shader4 extension is not supported by your graphics driver but is required for the new OpenGL rendering backend. Please update your OpenGL driver. If you are using Mesa please make sure you have version 10.6.5 or later and make sure your driver in Mesa supports OpenGL 3.2.

To solve this, simply ninstall vtk and vmtk (which were installed through vmtk channel) in your local conda environment, and reinstall vtk from anaconda channel, then install vmtk back. See Mi's post for step-by-step instructions(https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vmtk-users/IbVEv2p64Tc/XWNDt88RAwAJ)
