Description Urmas 2014-12-24 08:02:01 UTC 
If OpenGL acceleration is enabled but hardware does not support it, LO fails to start silently.
Either error message should appear, or LO should prompt user to disable it automatically.

@Urmas, could you let us know which hardware you tested this on and how does one enable opengl acceleration.

CCing Markus as he's the OpenGL man. :D
Comment 2 Urmas 2014-12-24 10:23:58 UTC 
Settings/View/Use OpenGL for all rendering

In my case that was VirtualBox VM.

I cant see any setting called 'Use OpenGL for all rendering' in master. Do you have a screenshot?

Thanks for the screenshot. Seems my current build from 12-12 doesnt have it in it but i see it in the latest build. :D

I think it would be good for you to send in a backtrace so someone can see why it silently fails. I've had similar opengl crashes in the past, like in bug 80448.
