SIGSEGV 'segmentation violation' detected. Address 0

Modules Mesh (and others except Geometry) crash with following error message: 

SIGSEGV 'segmentation violation' detected. Address 0

Version: SALOME-8.4.0-UB16.04-SRC

Ubuntu: 16.04 LTS

Hardware: Macbook Pro macOS High Sierra

Processor: 3,1 GHz Intel Core i7

Grafics: Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB

I just downloaded the file, unzipped and started salome in Terminal via:  ./salome

I haven't found any solution to solve this problem. Has anyone more experienced some suggestions?

I have found, that computers with intel CPUs and integrated graphics are not supported. This is also the case with ANSYS Fluent. My "solution" to this is to use SALOME on a computer with a dedicated graphics card. I also suggest to use the previous version of Salome 8.3, because I also had some issues with the version 8.4.

Hello,

I have exactly the same error, using a new dummi part (simple cube). If I switch to meshing, I get the same error message. I'm using an AMD gpu and not integrated graphiccard with Suse SLED 15SP1.

Greetings,

Holger

Hi,

What does report the command:

glxinfo | grep version

If OpenGL version string < 3.2, the VTK view will crash.

You can try to launch with ./mesa_salome, it will bypass your graphic driver with the OpenGL 4.5 implementation by mesa.

Best regards,

Christophe
