Ubuntu 16.04.3 ARM Planetary Imager will not start

Hi,
I'm struggling to get Planetary Imager to run on an Odroid XU4 running Ubuntu 16.04.3 with the Mate Desktop.

I installed from the .deb file and Planetary Imager appears in the Applications -> Graphics menu. When I click it nothing happens.

I have /usr/bin/planetary_imager_daemon running under a tmux window and the logs tell me that it is running, found the ZWO_ASI_Driver for my ASI1200 and is bound to port 19232. No more entries appear in the log, even when I try launching Planetary Imager again.

Trying to run /usr/bin/planetary_image directly from a non-graphical terminal I get the following:

Starting PlanetaryImager - version 0.7.0 (armv7l)
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Error: signal 6:

[3]: address: 0xb5a0334a, file: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so., function: abort+0xb

Running it from inside a Mate Terminal gives a little more information:

I'd appreciate any insight you might have on how to resolve this!

Hi Jeff,

It seems OpenGL initialization failed (OpenGL is enabled by default). Try locating the config file (on Fedora I have it at ~/.config/GuLinux/PlanetaryImager.conf) and change the appropriate line (or add it, if there's no opengl setting yet):

opengl=false

Hello Filip! I didn't have a PlanetaryImager.conf file so I created one with that single line and Planetary Imager starts just as it's supposed to! Thanks so very much! Jeff Jeff Ross rossj@cargotel.com

You're welcome.
We should fix this case to gracefully fall back to non-OpenGL mode.
