@smellyfis can you please also post the Help > About FreeCAD > Copy to clipboard data ?

I added the BT here for more convenience:

In your callstack this function appears:

#16 0x00007ffff51f61f6 in qt_message_output(QtMsgType, char const*) () from /usr/lib64/qt4/libQtCore.so.4
No symbol table info available.

So, this means Qt internally writes a log message or warning after the writing text to the splash screen. It would be interesting to know what this message is about. Can you start FreeCAD in a terminal, please? If there this message doesn't appear then start FreeCAD with the option "--write-log" and go to $HOME/.FreeCAD to open the file FreeCAD.log.

I cannot even open FreeCAD to get to the help>about FreeCAD

I also I am having problem finding libGL.so so I have to start with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so. Other wise I get the following

Thanks for the log file. When looking into it I found a suspicious line

hijackWindow() context created for Gui::SplashScreen

which apparently comes from Qt and is raised when trying to create a GL context. I wonder why Qt tries to that for a normal widget.

According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8793 ... reated-for you should pass

Code: Select all

-graphicssystem=raster

on the command line when starting FreeCAD.

Yep, my default graphics system was set to opengl. If I run FC with QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=raster it works flawlessly! That's why FC was not crashing on my other computer, because it was set to default there.

@wmayer should we do anything more about this ?
