Public bug reported: 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. I'm also seeing this error when trying the official demo from python-qt4-doc. This only happens on systems with the old nvidia driver 280. After manually updating the driver to version 290 provided by nvidia, everything works normally as expected. Why is this driver not available in ubuntu? According to the description, nvidia-current-updates should contain a post-release updated version of this driver. Apparently it is the same version as nvidia-current. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919992 Title: current-updates is not up to date To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates/+bug/919992/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
