Critical Error - Open GL component is disabled.

[JakeZw]

In trying to run some of the examples in the manual, I came across an error that states my open GL component is disabled.

`julia> render_area = RenderArea()

(julia.exe:47448): mousetrap-CRITICAL **: 15:16:34.050: In RenderArea(): trying to instantiate RenderArea, but the OpenGL component is disabled.
RenderArea()`

RenderArea is currently not available on certain MacOS architectures. While it should be fixable, I have no way to do so as I would need a physical apple machine to debug this and Apple makes it impossible to debug from another OS.

Until then, you are unable to use the RenderArea widget, I'm sorry.

If you are not on an Apple device, please post your system info. So far, everytime this has occurred it has always been one of the newer macs though

The error remains on both a Linux box and Win 11 machine. On first execution on the Win 11 machine I get
julia> render_area = RenderArea() RenderArea()

And on the second execution
`julia> render_area = RenderArea()

(julia.exe:22664): mousetrap-CRITICAL **: 11:13:53.570: In RenderArea(): trying to instantiate RenderArea, but the OpenGL component is disabled.
RenderArea()`

One the Linux machine I get the error when executing
using Mousetrap

The Win 11 machine has the 'Intel(R) UHC Graphics 630' hardware.

Ubuntu has a '3rd Gen Core processor graphics controller'

I am guessing it is a hardware issue?

[Clemapfel]

It's usually a diver issue, but it may also be a hardware issue, though I have never encountered this on Windows before.

What version of ubuntu are you using, also do you have all OpenGL drivers installed? The apt package is called mesa-dev I think.

[JakeZw]

The error persists on both Ubuntu and Win 11 .

Win 11 gives
`julia> render_area = RenderArea()

(julia.exe:31760): mousetrap-CRITICAL **: 18:20:09.972: In RenderArea(): trying to instantiate RenderArea, but the OpenGL component is disabled.
RenderArea()`

For Ubuntu I installed OpenGL via sudo apt install freeglut3-dev
There is another method I found but have not yet tried https://medium.com/geekculture/a-beginners-guide-to-setup-opengl-in-linux-debian-2bfe02ccd1e
Ubuntu is version 23.10

FYI, I just see this warning raised in my wayland session on kde plasma. X11 session is perfectly fine with RenderArea.

As a workaround, force gtk back to XWayland in a wayland session:

env GDK_BACKEND=x11 julia

Hi, I have Dell laptop with Windows 1, graphic card Intel UHD 620 which uses OpenCl instead of OpenGl without administrator privileges. Is there any way around to install OpenGl or use mousetrap without OpenGl?
