Which operating system does the issue occur on? Fedora 27 Workstation

If on linux, are you using X11 or Wayland? Wayland (works fine on X11)

I'm closing this issue, it seems to be an issue in Glutin rust-windowing/glutin#949

pklingem · 2018-01-12T14:52:09Z

@jbolila I'm having the same issue on Fedora 27 on wayland and I'm having trouble connecting the issue to rust-windowing/glutin#949, were you able to make progress? I am able to run with xwayland, but I prefer wayland.

jbolila · 2018-01-12T15:35:21Z

@pklingem I think you're right the issue is still happening, and I have the same issue in Debian 9 using wayland. Also agree now doesn't seem to be related with the Glutin's issue.

DaGuich · 2018-01-31T11:14:27Z

I've also encountered the problem on Ubuntu 17.04. Disabling Wayland helped me out.
With env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= alacritty it worked for me.

asymmetric · 2018-02-23T11:00:52Z

Linking with #97 since this seems to be a Wayland issue.

pklingem · 2018-03-07T13:59:51Z

I'm still having this problem on master as of today, here's my info, not sure if this helps at all. @jwilm does this conversation belong in another repo?

Alacritty encountered an unrecoverable error:

	Error creating GL context; Some of the requested attributes are not supported

cedws · 2018-04-19T12:16:33Z

What's the status on this? The workaround works, but isn't ideal, and doesn't allow me to use Alacritty without opening another terminal.

chrisduerr · 2018-04-19T12:33:54Z

@c-edw It should be possible to set the WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable for alacritty in general, either desktop file or .app.

An issue for tracking this in general is #97.

cedws · 2018-04-19T12:53:32Z

@chrisduerr When I execute env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= alacritty it launches the Alacritty terminal. If I then try to run Alacritty through the .desktop file, it exits immediately, presumably because it's throwing same error mentioned in this issue. From what you and others have been saying, it sounds like something else is supposed to happen?

EDIT: Just to clarify, executing env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= alacritty successfully launches Alacritty.

chrisduerr · 2018-04-19T13:01:08Z

All running env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= alacritty does is run the alacritty binary with the WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable unset. So if you want to start it from the .desktop file, you'll have to do the same.

Instead of doing something like Exec=alacritty you could for example try changing it to Exec=sh -c "env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= alacritty".

cedws · 2018-04-19T13:17:15Z

@chrisduerr Ah thanks a lot, I was missing the sh -c.

chrisduerr · 2018-04-19T13:54:34Z

The sh -c starts up a shell to execute a command with. It's usually a very straight-forward way to reproduce a command you type in the command line. There might be better ways to do this with .dekstop files, but if it works for you, it should be good enough. :)
