"Unable to create primary window" issue

Open Sofianba opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

I get this error when I try to run the template :

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: primary window could not be created.

My procedure was :

  • cloning the repository via version control.
  • running "run" in the gradle tasks tab.

I tried this :

  1. deleting the clone.
  2. resetting IntelliJ IDEA to default settings.
  3. going through the same steps again.

Which platform and hardware are you using? primary window could not be created usually indicates that no OpenGL context could be created.

I looked up OpenGL and yes, you're right. My machine does only support openGL up to version 2.x since it's using integrated graphics.

Sometimes integrated graphics support up to 4.5 or 4.6. Are there new drivers available?

with the latest drivers installed now I can only run up to GL 3.1.

In any case here's a GPU report with all info : gpu_caps_viewer_report.txt

According to https://guide.openrndr.org/#/01_Before_you_start/C02ShouldIUseOPENRNDR GL 3.3 unfortunately is the minimum.
