Sorry for the double post, but I managed to fix the problem.

Thanks anyway Hapax

I've tested other images and no luck, also getcwd() gives me right path.

I was working on a little game project and I can't run it because of this problem, I remember that I've installed some composition software, and some other stuff on other machine with the same problem and suddenly this was fixed.

Machine specs,
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz
RAM 2GiB
G72 [GeForce 7500 LE]

[Edit]

If a change the default graphics driver to the nvidia a get another error, shown on the attached files.

Ps: Sorry about my English.

General / Can't load images

« on: July 13, 2016, 01:20:36 am »

Hi guys,

I have a fresh Ubuntu Mate install on one of my machines and a I can't load/display images.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    sf::RenderWindow app(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");

    // Load a sprite to display
    sf::Texture texture;
    if (!texture.loadFromFile("cb.bmp"))
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    sf::Sprite sprite(texture);

        // Start the game loop
    while (app.isOpen())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event event;
        while (app.pollEvent(event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                app.close();
        }

        // Clear screen
        app.clear();

        // Draw the sprite
        app.draw(sprite);

        // Update the window
        app.display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
 

Everytime a try to execute the code I get a segmentation fault, but if a put a wrong path for the image (like "cb2.bmp") I get "Failed to load image "cb2.bmp". Reason: Unable to open file."

If a comment every line mentioning "texture" and "sprite", the program runs but obviosly I get a black screen.

I get the same results compiling directly from the console.

I've faced the same issues long ago on a previous Linux distro ("lubuntu"), but I fixed somehow. Driver issues?
