OpenGL Acceleration failure: WinError 6

[themoonisacheese]

Describe the bug
When using xpra (client) 6.2 on windows, connecting to a server succeeds, but shows a notification:

"Descripteur invalide" =>"Invalid Descriptor" in french
This did not happen under 5.0.7, the previous version i was using.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. on server: xpra start --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:5900 --start=.local/bin/kitty
2. on client, C:\Users\user\Desktop\Xpra-x86_64_6.2.0-r0\Xpra.exe attach tcp://user@server:5900/
3. remote terminal appears, notification shows.

System Information (please complete the following information):

• Server OS: Almalinux 8.10
• Client OS: Win10 22H2
• Xpra Server Version xpra v6.2.0-r2
• Xpra Client Version 6.2.0-r0

Additional context
opening xpra.exe, going to the toolbox and clicking "OpenGL" yields this error:

but clicking the same button in 5.0.7 correctly shows the openGL test window.

The graphics on this PC is pre-Iris intel UHD integrated graphics, on an i7-8665U.

I remain available for additionnal logs.

I'm pretty sure that we have a ticket somewhere with this error.
@themoonisacheese: please paste the text, not a picture of text.

Do you get the same error when using Xpra_cmd.exe instead of Xpra.exe?

[themoonisacheese]

I am unable to paste the text; this is a windows error message, the text is not selectable.

Apologies if this is a duplicate, I did search for this issue and did not find a similar ticket.

using Xpra_cmd.exe does not show the same notification, however it does exhibit a shared behavior: while xpra is connecting, the window that shows where in the init process it is is completely white. This also didn't happen in 5.0.7:

I am unable to paste the text; this is a windows error message, the text is not selectable.

Ah, right.
That's unfortunate: the opengl test module encounters an error and the error handler has a bug (now fixed) so we can't see what it is and we get this generic error window instead.
I will make 6.3-beta builds so you can test again properly.

Apologies if this is a duplicate, I did search for this issue and did not find a similar ticket.

No worries. I'm sure it exists somewhere, but even I couldn't find it!

the window that shows where in the init process it is is completely white

That's odd!
Seems similar to the opengl WinError 6 to me: looks like the subprocesses are having problems communicating over pipes.
Is there anything special about this PC?

sounds good

Is there anything special about this PC?

Probably not beyond that it's old? It's a work machine (hence why i'm using the portable zip instead of installing xpra), so it's managed by AD. We use a popular corporate AV suite (i can't name it but it's in the top 10). I'm not local admin on it.

My graphics driver is up to date (as much as it could be for a 7 year old chip anyway) and so is the rest of the PC.

[totaam]

Done: I've made 6.2.0-r3 builds for MS Windows with the fix above: https://xpra.org/beta/windows/

This should tell us more about the OpenGL error.

[themoonisacheese]

well i'll give you that the windows error message no longer appears when testing opengl, however nothing else replaces it. i couldn't find a log file in the extracted dir. is there a specific place for client logs?

[totaam]

Ah, maybe run xpra_cmd.exe opengl -d opengl

[themoonisacheese]

openly is not a valid subcommand.

[totaam]

It was opengl (edited)

I had typed the message on my phone, helpfully autocorrected to openly!

5.0-opengl.log
6.2-opengl.log

here are logs for the 2 versions

I'm seeing the same issue, in different computers with different video cards, one Intel notebook and a Nvidia workstation. I noticed that if I start from the command line with Xpra_cmd.exe everything works, and I even have OpenGL enabled. However if I start from Xpra-Laucher or Xpra.exe either from command line of from the menu, I get the Invalid Descriptor error an OpenGL is disabled.

It seems the problem is on the GUI side. Perhaps you have to initialize OpenGL earlier when running the GUI? I can provide you with xpra_cmd opengl -d opengl but since it's using xpra_cmd I suspect it won't help.

[rcoacci]

I just tried Xpra-x86_64_6.3-r36793 from https://xpra.org/beta/windows/, and I can't even get a GUI (Xpra.exe and Xpra-Launcher doesn't show up), with a bunch of Gtk errors. Surprinsingly Xpra_cmd works with a bunch of gtk errors, but I can attach to the remote session.

It seems to be missing the libpixbufloader-png.dll. I downloaded the Xpra-x86_64_6.3-r36793.zip file.

@rcoacci 6.2 has just been released so 6.3 is an early beta, undergoing some packaging changes for #4050 and #4394 - these should be ironed out soon enough.

Sure, I just tried 6.3 because of the comments above asking the other reporter to try it. If there is anything else I can do to help debug the OpenGL issue let me know.
