APP3 GPU processing problem

APP3 GPU processing problem

by Nick Payne » Fri Dec 07, 2012 7:02 am

APP 3 release on Linux Mint 14 amd64, nVidia GTS250 video card running the Nouveau driver. If I have GPU processing enabled in settings and click on the "Check" button and then the Render tab, the two pictures are identical. However, with GPU processing enabled, APP crashes as soon as I click on the Edit botton in the window showing the panorama thumbnail. If I disable GPU processing, the crash doesn't happen. The Info tab in the Check dialog shows the following:

Hi Nick,


Could please tell us if APG is running well with official nvidia driver ? If so, I think the come might come from the Nouveau driver.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Nick,

I have just give a look at the crash dump you uploaded, and the crash is indeed in the nouveau driver.

Regards,
Thomas

Thanks, but as I run two monitors with one rotated to portrait orientation, I don't want to install the official nVidia driver, as that would require me to configure each monitor as a separate X screen in order to get correct orientation on the second monitor. Having each monitor as a separate X screen is too inconvenient. I'll just run APP without the GPU processing enabled.

Hi Nick,

You can maybe report this bug to the Nouveau driver team, if they are looking for feedback.

Regards,
Thomas

I found that the latest nVidia Linux driver (313.09) does support individual monitor rotation in Twinview, so I installed and configured it. I can now enable GPU processing without any crash.

Hi,

Good news to see that Autopano works with this latest driver.

Is APG 3.0x compatible with NVidia GeForce 310.70 Driver (I am running GTX 480 card in Win7x64) ?

no issues since updated from 306.97 to 310.70 with my GTX260 (GPU test succeeds and 3.0 preview feature works fast and great...
(PS on Win-boxes: doing a complete optimization - incl reorganisation and not only defragmentation - of the boot drive with ultra defragmenter tool gives an extra performance boost while working with autopano)

thanks! about the boot drive - mine is SSD, so I suppose no need to reorg/defragment?
