Graphic card issues

[eort]

Hey,

For a while now, I experienced sudden crashes when testrunning experiments, mostly when using the quickrun mode (blue arrow), but occasionally also when starting a "regular" run of the experiment (green arrow).

The error message is: i965: Failed to submit batchbuffer: Invalid argument

A little bit of googling tells me, this has to do with integrated Intel graphic cards that do not properly support OpenGL. See for example:

• Application Crash "i965: Failed to submit batchbuffer: Invalid argument" [Ubuntu 18.04] constellation-app/constellation#96
• https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/1680#note_328635

I am on ubuntu 18.04.2 and my graphics card is: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620
However, it probably is not directly related to Opensesame, or can be fixed within it. For completeness sake, I still report.

Thanks for flagging this. It's indeed outside of the scope of OpenSesame, but it's still useful to be aware of these things.
