I just upgraded my Fedora 32 to 34 on my laptop (Lenovo T470s, graphics card is: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] (rev 07)) and PixInsight crashes during start up with message:

Calling _exit(1). Core file will not be generated.

Is there some drivers missing from my system?

Many thanks for your help in advance!
 
This is not a bug in PixInsight. You are running an unsupported Linux distribution. For some odd reason your graphics driver (/usr/lib64/dri/iris_dri.so) is generating a dependency on the standard C++ library included in the PixInsight distribution (libstdc++). This should not happen under normal working conditions, i.e. the driver should be independent on userland code (such as an application like PixInsight).

You can try deleting the following file:

/opt/PixInsight/bin/lib/libstdc++.so.6

and it should work. But there is no guarantee.

I strongly recommend running PixInsight on a supported distribution. Our reference Linux platform is Kubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS.
 
I deleted the file and YES, PixInsight is now working in Fedora 34! Many thanks for your help!
 
Glad to know that. By deleting that file you are always using the version provided by your Linux distribution. The incoming version 1.8.8-8 of PixInsight for Linux supports GLIBCXX_3.4.29 out of the box.
 
Hi,

I get following crash info when I try to run latest PixInsight 1.8.8-8 in my Fedora 34. Any suggestions what I should do or how to fix this?

Many thanks in advance!

For some reason your graphics drivers don't support GLIBCXX_3.4.29. To solve this problem, do exactly the same that I recommended to solve the OP's issue (see above). Just delete the following file:

/opt/PixInsight/bin/lib/libstdc++.so.6

and let me know if it works.
