geoDisplay crashing on nightlies

[aciarma]

Hello,

since a couple of days geoDisplay crashes if I source the nightlies.

As an example, running this:

Centos 7 detected
Setting up the latest Key4HEP software stack from CVMFS ...
 ...  Key4HEP release: 2023-09-28
 ...  Use the following command to reproduce the current environment: 
 ... 
         source /cvmfs/sw-nightlies.hsf.org/key4hep/releases/2023-09-28/x86_64-centos7-gcc12.2.0-opt/key4hep-stack/2023-09-28-qvxbsh/setup.sh
 ... 
 ...  If you have any issues, comments or requests open an issue at https://github.com/key4hep/key4hep-spack/issues
lxplus714:~ $ geoDisplay $FCCDETECTORS/Detector/DetFCCeeCLD/compact/FCCee_o2_v02/FCCee_o2_v02.xml 

will crash just after opening the canvas.

please see below the error message:

Error in <TGLContext::SetContext>: glXCreateContext failed!
RunPlugin        ERROR ++ Exception while executing plugin DD4hep_GeometryDisplay:
		glXCreateContext failed!
dd4hep: with plugin:DD4hep_GeometryDisplay

[jmcarcell]

I tried both on CentOS 7 and AlmaLinux 9 and it worked for me on lxplus. Are you using ssh with -Y? What's your host system?

[aciarma]

I am using ssh -XY from macOS Ventura 13.4.1
If I source the latest key4hep it works, if I source the nightlies it breaks both on lxplus7 and alma9

[jmcarcell]

Well that's unfortunate because I don't have a Mac to test it nor I can reproduce... If it works with the releases for you then the problem has to be the nightlies and some issue with the macOS setup because several colleagues on Linux machines have had no problems with this 🤔

[aciarma]

weird but ok, for the moment I have a workaround I just wanted to signal this issue.
I dont think I've changed settings in my machine so probably something in the nightlies may have affected this... If it persists I'll let you know!
