I don't even understand the argument. Lets turn it around/right again: Why not just dlopen libGL.so? Any application should be able to dlopen libGL.so.
"libGL.so" is the library name everyone agrees to and everyone expects to find, which is exactly why this file exists in the first place, doesn't it? One should expect that this primary library name points to the most reasonable and (before all else) WORKING OpenGL library. If a distribution decides to do some name mangling for maintaining multiple versions or vendors it is of course free to do so. Please name it "libGL.so.foo" or "libGl.so.bar" if you want, buy why is it necessary for pyqt to know about your naming decision and most importantly: Why is it necessary to stick with a broken(!) default configuration? It baffles me that it took 4 years to boil it down to one line of not giving a damn. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941826 Title: dlopen(libGL.so) resolves to mesa rather than nvidia Status in NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu: New Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pyqt5 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in python-qt4 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm having trouble with a combination of NVIDIA + Python + Qt + Opengl. I tried using a QGraphicsView on a QGLWidget. I'm getting a white window and errors like this these: QGLShader: could not create shader Vertex shader for simpleShaderProg (MainVertexShader &PositionOnlyVertexShader) failed to compile This is an example application triggering the problem: http://pastebin.com/R0aa8ejs The 'same' program works flawlessly when using C++/Qt. I'm seeing the exact behavior when using PySide instead of PyQt4 by the way. I'm also seeing this error when trying the original demo application from python-qt4-doc. Also, calling QtGui.QApplication.setGraphicsSystem("opengl") produces the same errors. I'm experiencing this problems on 11.10 and 12.04 with the ubuntu- provided nvidia drivers (where 12.04 includes the most recent driver for now). After installing the driver using the original NVidia installer, the applications work as expected.
