I installed VAPOR following the installation instructions for Linux from your website. I am able to launch VAPOR from the terminal, but if I try to load data the program crashes. The error message I get is:

qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve EVP\_PKEY\_base\_id  
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSL\_get\_peer\_certificate  
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL\_get\_peer\_certificate  
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL\_get\_peer\_certificate  
Aborted (core dumped)

Do you know why this is happening?  
Thanks for your help!

Hi, could you provide the following info?

1. What OS are you using (CentOS or Ubuntu)?
2. Could you provide a sample of your data so we can try to reproduce the crash?
3. Could you launch vapor from the command line after exporting VAPOR\_DEBUG=1?

IE - from your terminal:

```auto
export VAPOR_DEBUG=1
./vapor

```

Hi!

1. I am using Ubuntu
2. So far I’ve tried with a few of the sample data provided [here](https://vapor.readthedocs.io/en/readthedocs/downloads/downloads.html#sample-data). For this run I attempted to open the dataset called ‘Particles’.
3. When I launch vapor after exporting VAPOR\_DEBUG=1 I get:

There are seven example datasets that we provide. This may seem like an obvious question, but are you importing the particles examples dataset through the Import-\>Data Collection Particles (DCP) menu?

I can’t reproduce the crash on my ubuntu system, but I’m wondering if a certain mismatch between dataset types and import menu options is causing the problem.

Also, what graphics card does your system have, and are you sure that it’s properly configured? IE - are other 3D graphics applications working for you?

Yes, I am importing the particles dataset through the Import-\>Data Collection Particles (DCP) menu.

The system uses NVIDIA Corporation TU116M [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile] (rev a1).  
When I run ‘lspci | grep VGA’ it looks like I have two drivers? The output is

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]  
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU116M [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile] (rev a1)

The other 3D graphics applications I’ve tried have worked so far.

Hmm. I believe lspci lists the hardware but does not contain information about the driver. Can you run `sudo lshw -c video`?

Also which version of Ubuntu are you using?

Sure! The output when I run `sudo lshw -c video` is:

@semya - Sorry for not getting back to you on this for a while. I’ve been scratching my head because I can’t reproduce the problem. However there are some other issues on Ubuntu that we’ve recently fixed. Could you try running [this installer](https://output.circle-artifacts.com/output/job/753a70c6-ae9e-4770-aa64-516a705a7e82/artifacts/0/tmp/workspace/installers/VAPOR3-3.6.1-Ubuntu18.sh) and let me know if the problem persists?

Hi! That’s okay, thank you for taking the time 🙂

When I run the other installer I get the output:

Warning: Ignoring XDG\_SESSION\_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT\_QPA\_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.  
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin “xcb” in “” even though it was found.  
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Aborted (core dumped)

I tried to install `qt5-default`, but this seems to make no difference?

Hey I was wondering if there was any update to this issue. I have recently encountered it as well and I am looking for a fix.

I am using Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and used installer suggested in here [Install vapor on Linux Ubuntu 22 - #6 by ochimborazo](https://vapor.discourse.group/t/install-vapor-on-linux-ubuntu-22/237/6)

</div>

@zhen - strange. We have lots of reports that the ubuntu installer you’ve linked is working but there could always be an outlying case.

Could you launch vapor from a terminal, after setting the environment variable VAPOR\_DEBUG to 1?

IE -

```auto
export VAPOR_DEBUG=1
~/VAPOR/bin/vapor

```

Hello. Although I am not using Ubuntu (I am using Pop!\_OS 22.04) I have been experiencing precisely the same errors when loading VAPOR. It appears that these errors occur before I attempt to load any data, so something is off with the installation. I have dug pretty deep into this over the past couple months, attempting many different installation methods (to no avail), and I _think_ it has something to do with the installer looking in the wrong place for some libraries. When using “export QT\_DEBUG\_PLUGINS=1” I get many additional errors which look like the following (not including all errors here):

@noonewade Could you try running the following command?

That command results in the following:

linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe22785000)  
libc.so.6 =\> /lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f28f3a00000)
