No GUI during calibration

asked 2014-07-29 10:03:51 -0500

updated 2014-07-30 05:05:14 -0500

I am trying to run the calibration tool of the ethzasl_ptam package, but I cannot see any GUI appearing. According to their developer's issue tracker, this problem occurs only for non-nvidia users. But I am using a Samsung NP450R4E Laptop with a NVIDIA graphics card.

Here are some greps of my OpenGL setting:

long@long:~/Workspaces/catkin$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 331.38
long@long:~/Workspaces/catkin$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 710M/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 331.38
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)

OpenGL version string: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 331.38
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.40 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

And here is the dump of roslaunch:

I tried it with Bumblebee and make sure that optimus is working, but even with that I did not see any GUI appearing.

So, finally, I just pulled the the original PTAM source code. With that build, I could run the calibration tool (with GUI) and even without using optimus.

As I don't have enough Karma.. you can find some useful Links below in the comments

I got the source here: www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~gk/PTAM/ And this blog post helped me a lot to get it build (there is an include missing in the code..) http://hustcalm.me/blog/2013/09/27/ptam-compilation-on-linux-howto/
