[RESOLVED] AMD Radeon - crash on Linux Mint

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
#1

I am trying to install GLMakie using Julia. Steps to reproduce:

curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh
juliaup add 1.9
juliaup default 1.9

Run Julia and try to install GLMakie:

julia
using Pkg
Pkg.add("GLMakie")

This results in a crash similar to:

   Installed MakieCore ─ v0.6.9
   Installed GLMakie ─── v0.8.12
   Installed Makie ───── v0.19.12

This is most likely an OpenGL driver issue.

Questions:

  1. how can I install the latest radeon driver, and how can I find out which driver version I have?
  2. as a work-around, is it possible to disable hardware acceleration and use an OpenGL software emulation, and if yes, how?

I am using the official Ubuntu 22.04 Linux:

Linux framework 6.1.0-1025-oem #25-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Oct 13 12:54:28 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Makie works fine on my desktop computer using an NVidea graphics card.

Updating the mesa drivers fixed the issue:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo apt-upgrade
