Mayavi2 on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 Bit)

[ghost]

Hello,

I used to use Mayavi2 on my Ubuntu 10.04 (python 2.6) machine. After a new installation of Ubuntu 12.04 (and Python 2.7.3), mayavi2 does not work.

I get the following error:

The program 'python' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 2610 error_code 1 request_code 154 minor_code 19)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

After running in the verbose mode, the error is:

Can you please help.

Impossible to reproduce. Likely cause is a change in X libraries with the upgrade. A fresh reinstall of a recent version of mayavi after the upgrade is probably the best strategy. Closing
