“GLXBadContextTag” Error from EVE

[JINGYU]

Hi

When I call eve related functions from python using ROOT.gInterpreter.ProcessLine() , the following errors happened:

Error in <RootX11ErrorHandler>: GLXBadContextTag (TGLWidget XID: 100665087, XREQ: 152)

The functions I called is about initializing eve views and they worked fine when I called them directly from root. Also, calling them from python worked fine on another computer. After these errors, the eve window was still there but inresponsive.

My ROOT version is 6.22

Did you try to search the forum for GLXBadContextTag? Otherwise @matevz may be able to help you

[JINGYU]

Yes, there are similar problems on the forum and I did tried some of their solutions, unfortunately the error remains…

So let’s see if @matevz can help

Hi guys,

I’ve never tried running Eve (or anything, really) via python. You say regular C++ script works ok and that even the python script works on another computer. This is rather strange

Can you show us some more of your code so somebody who knows more about PyRoot can try it out? Minimal code that reproduces the problem would be ideal.

Cheers,
Matevz
