[gradsusr] Grads 2.1.a3 - Problem plotting Intel graphic

[Jennifer M Adams]

Hi, Simone —
Please see an earlier thread on this topic: http://gradsusr.org/pipermail/gradsusr/2016-November/040443.html
The problem is with ubuntu's X11 server; as you noted it works on Fedora and CentOS. You should be fine if you use batch mode.

Hi all,

I'm posting here after days of searching and testing with no results.

I have a specific problem that seems to affect Grads 2.1.a3 ( but I think even the latest versions ).

I can reproduce it, with my specific input files like with the official grads test too.

Here are some details of my tests:

Hardware:

PC Lenovo with Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4170 CPU with integrated Intel graphics.

PC HP DC7900 ( old 2008 model with Intel graphics too )

Software:

O.S. Linux Ubuntu 16.04

Kernel 4.4 & Kernel 4.5

With and without Intel graphics update tool 2.0.2 installed

Used Grads 2.1.a3 as binary downloaded from your site or package from ubuntu 16.10 via apt pinning .

Intel update tool packages installed:

ii i965-va-driver:amd64 1.7.1-0intel1 amd64 VAAPI driver for Intel G45 & HD Graphics family

ii va-driver-all:amd64 1.7.1-0intel1 amd64 Video Acceleration (VA) API -- driver metapackage
ii vainfo 1.7.1-0intel1 amd64 Video Acceleration (VA) API for Linux -- info program


Problem:

I cannot graph correctly the image, in attach the results with model.ctl file used as a test.

With grads 2.0 no problem everything is ok in this PCs.

I think it's a Intel graphic problem, but Kernel upgrades , Intel drivers updates doesn't change anything.

Do you have any ideas?


I cannot use other distributions , I use grads without problems on various Fedora and CentOS servers, but in this case I need it to work with this Ubuntu version and hardware!

Any help is really appreciated,

Regards all

Simone
