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

Thu Jan 12 20:48:45 EST 2017

Hi All,

I experienced the same problem with CentOS 7. But I figured out the
problem.
When I updated the OS a new core was created. Index 0 CentOS Linux
(3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core).
I tried to log in using this and had the same results. See attachment
below.

When I log in to the original Core (CentOS Linux
(3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)), grads worked perfectly fine.

Maybe this is a problem with the Kernel version. Try using an older version
or look at the bug fix. For example,
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2016-2862.html

[root at localhost Lyndz]# awk -F\' '$1=="menuentry " {print i++ " : " $2}'
/etc/grub2.cfg

0 : CentOS Linux (3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)
1 : CentOS Linux (3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)
2 : CentOS Linux (0-rescue-67c714023a764dcc9714ef99c997bb66) 7 (Core)
