[Scilab-users] Ubuntu upgrade just killed GL

[Tim Wescott]

I'm 99.44% sure that the problem here resides in whatever video stuff
just got updated on Ubuntu 14.04 -- but the problem only seems to
exhibit itself under Scilab.

So, I'm hoping that someone of a more developer-ish bent could give me a
more mainstream Ubuntu test that'll let me submit a bug report to those
guys that'll attract attention.  Even better yet, if someone has some
suggested workarounds that would be exceptionally lovely.  I'm trying to
get some work delivered to a customer TODAY and things have just come to
a screeching halt -- hopefully I have a laptop around here that'll work.

I can't tell you details about the graphics card & whatnot, but I'm
willing to dig for it if you tell me it's important.

Attached are two files: devices.txt is the output of the "ubuntu-drivers
devices" command, while "scilab.doesnt.graph.txt" is the output of
Scilab's error stream when I start up, try to graph something, then
exit.  The program gets as far as opening a window on which to graph,
but fails utterly to actually put up a graph.

I tried installing and running glxgears, but it just says it can't get
an RGB channel without saying why -- I don't know if this is part of the
problem or not.
