Hi,

sight_viewer segfaults when I try to start it.

Since I'm not familiar with this package I'm only reporting this as
important, not serious. Not sure if there are other use cases for this
package or if it's just user error (and lacking documentation).

I attached the terminal output and logfile.

Thanks for maintaining!

Hi Jens,

Thank you for having taken the time to wrap up that report.
I attempted to have a look at this, and results seem rather
variable depending on the context of the rendering.  I have
managed to run sight_viewer alright in virtual machine context
on Xorg, but on the same virtual machine, using a sway desktop
resulted in a crash at an earlier point than yours.

I then tried to recheck on real hardware, and this time I
reproduced the error and informational messages you report.
I'm not entirely convinced by my Xorg vs Wayland hypothesis,
because the problem reproduces whether I attempt to spawn
sight_viewer in my Wayland based Sway environment or in Xvfb
context.  In case that matters, I use an amdgpu, while I have
not injected dedicated gpu support within the virtual machine.
I may have a fresher look at this at a more reasonable hour of
the day.

I have added Flavien Bridault in carbon copy, in case he has
some ideas on the topic.  Flavien, have you run into Debian bug
#1108183 per chance, or need help to reproduce problems?

Have a nice day,  :)
