I use system's libraries when building software. As I mentioned, everything works perfectly from the root account, so I doubt there is a compatibility issue. Here is a log file from root (success): QvisApplication::QvisApplication: -font Helvetica,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 Xfer::Process: Opcode=11, len=246, type=ClientInformationList ... and here is the log from user (failure): QvisApplication::QvisApplication: -font Helvetica,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 So the crash happens immediately, but the only difference I see is in a system font. I tried deleting the .visit directory, but it didn't help. Thanks. |

Just found that Visit starts as a regular user only from an x11 session (XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11). Does it mean Visit is not Wayland compatible? |

I was pleasantly surprised to find that 3.4.1 builds without much trouble on Fedora 40 (only 12 files needed patching, and most of them to fix a single HDF5 function call change that requires an extra argument H5O_INFO_BASIC). But the gui process only runs from the root account; any attempt to run as the session owner (on Gnome/Wayland) results in a core dump. The CLI runs fine from any account. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks.
