General / Parallels Tools breaks SFML

« on: July 17, 2015, 12:54:21 am »

So I created a clean VM of Xubuntu 14.04.2 in Parallels 10.2.1 and I got SFML working properly with sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev. Then I rebooted and made sure it still worked, and after that the only thing I did was install Parallels Tools. Now when I try to run my sfml-app by command line or through Codeblocks I get the error message:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  74
  Current serial number in output stream:  75

Anyone know how Parallels Tools could be causing SFML to malfunction or how to fix this? I can't find anything online about compatibility issues between the two.

General / Error running sfml-app

« on: July 16, 2015, 08:14:33 am »

Hi, I just tried following the tutorial http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/start-linux.php on a fresh install of Xubuntu 15.04 in Parallels. I did the updates and upgrades, then ran sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev. I also downloaded and extracted SFML-2.3.1 to my Documents folder, but I wasn't sure if I needed to do both. After following the steps, when trying to run the sfml-app I created, I get the message:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  74
  Current serial number in output stream:  75

I also get the same error if I try it in Codeblocks. Can anyone tell me what this means? Did I need to also do something with the SFML download after I ran the sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev command or was that an either/or type of thing? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
