EMC2 v. 2.5.0 crashing on startup
I just installed the latest package of EMC (2.5.0) via the linuxcnc-install.sh on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
That worked pretty well, i could even generate a config with the Stepconf Wizard and in the wizard i could run my stepper motors with this little testing program.
But everytime i try to run EMC you see it loading, but before the window is completely visible it crashes with this errormessage, wich does not tell me too much

If so can you attach the the .stepconf file?

Could it be something with the graphics card drivers? Thats my only idea
btw. thanks for the quick response

Try and run from the CNC menu LinuxCNC and from the sample configs run sim > tklinuxcnc > tklinuxcnc and sim > keystick. It might also be an opengl problem.

I guess that means it is the graphics card?
My Graphics Chip is an Intel 82815
I ran "glxinfo | grep direct" and it said "direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)"

with the documentation i solved the problem, i still don't exactly know what it is,
but installing the software-only OpenGL package helped ( point 5.2 in the documentation if anyone has the same problem)
i can now start the program properly and run my steppers with it
