Fbsd 14.2 and file roller crash "No provider of glGenSamplers found. Requires one of:"

[wolffnx]

maybe is in another applications too, is not FreeBSD related
but if you get the crash message:

No provider of glGenSamplers found.  Requires one of:
    Desktop OpenGL 3.3
    GL_ARB_sampler_objects
    OpenGL ES 3.0
Abort trap (core dumped)

and you are using the nvidia driver ver 340 , use this env code:

GSK_RENDERER=cairo

and that's it

I dont know for any longer this works, but this suck .. in simple words,you video card is very old for run file-roller in this case

I suffered the same problem with my old motherboard and video card that use to run without issues with the 340 nvidiia driver. Realised that my hardware was becoming out dated with the changes to the enhancements to the gnome desktop. In the end I bit the bullet and updated my motherboard to one that supported more modern hardware.

sorry to hear that , this is very bad.."you need recent hardware to run" , sounds familiar
