Amazon AWS EC2, Ubuntu, Wine and a 3D App on remote desktop

[cgltower]

I know what you're thinking - why?!?

Im not going to go into detail, but in short why not!

I have an industry app which I wont name yet, but is a relatively standard CAD-like 3D windows application. Im using x2go based on Nomachine/NX libraries for remote X desktop to Ubuntu. My 3D application tests for opengl or directx when it starts. At the moment when run with wine the application fails both and exits. Here is the output:

Code: Select all

(program dir)$: wine program_name.exe

Could someone point me the way to go to continue solving this? thank you!

This won't work. 3D acceleration does not work on "remote desktop".

[cgltower]

Thanks for reply vitamin.

I have glxgears running over the remote desktop, isnt that 3D accelerated?

glxgears can perfectly run without any hardware 3D acceleration. It's not using anything but 2-3 basic 3D operations, which can be easily emulated by CPU.

On another hand, all games that require real GPU can't work with CPU emulated 3D.

Yeah, the lack of 3d hardware on Amazon's cloud is probably going to be the killer.

[cgltower]

vitamin - true. glxgears does not use any extensions as far as im aware, just the core LIBGL library on the OS. They are basic operations, but still 3D functions nonetheless? And therefore some functions that wine's DLLs map to?

DanKegel - definitely for performance! Hopefully something later down the track will be able available. Im happy to have it completely software rendered, im trying to prove a concept, dont care if its slow.

But, back to my problem - Ive managed to remove the bottom GL_INVALID_OPERATION error by installing the package libgl1-mesa-swx11 which in Ubuntu auto removes libgl1-mesa-glx. Theoretically all previously direct calls to graphics are now indirect to software. A good result is the sourceforge program 'glmark' runs quite well considering.

For wine to run my original program it leaves

and

Can anyone help with these specific errors?
