Thanks for sharing. You may be on to something. THE HUMAN IS BACK!!!

This might be at least some clue to tracing down this specific issue. We'll take a look at this in some other environments and see if we can glean anything.

I will note that commenting out these lines ** DID ** CAUSE THE HUMAN to start displaying on MacOSX MOJAVE as well (The first time didn't work because I forgot to include commenting out the shader.py lines which were the difference). Now we need to study why.

As an additional testing comment, after getting the human back, I tried Rendering;\ | Scene and cold lights or Render | Scene warm lights .
They seemed to work when the human had the default "generic skin", but they produce an error if a regular skin texture is applied first, so I'm not sure what the status is with respect to any shader activity following the "commenting out." This maneuver effectively makes the human "disappear again" and get replaced by a white panel. The only way to get the human back is to restart.

BTW, the splash screen is missing the "image" when running on macOSX from source.

Oooh... I want to kiss you

I think this merits a modification of the current plan: we should make a build with this change and see if it solves the problem for most of the people who were previously unable to start MH.

As I don't have any computer with an AMD card, it is very difficult for me to check whether this actually did anything.

I'm glad that I can be some help .

For this one, I couldn't reproduce on my machine. I think it's maybe a MacOS-specific, which I don't have any access to, so I couldn't help.

Again, helpful to get some feedback. Thanks.

Can confirm the fix works for me too. (Win10, RX560)

Good, good... So far I haven't got a single credible report that it fails to start. Looking fine for alpha 3.

Looks like the nightly build at http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/nightly/ fixes this, at least it did for me

Hi,
on linux makehuman it doesn't work, you don't see the central window ... or rather you only see a moment when you close the program but you don't see it while working on it

I followed this post and did exactly the opposite of what was reported, that is, I uncommented:

sudo geany /usr/share/makehuman-community/lib/glmodule.py
line 455, 457, 464 and 466, uncomment:
#glDisable (GL_TEXTURE_2D)
#glDisable (GL_TEXTURE_1D)

sudo geany /usr/share/makehuman-community/lib/shader.py
line 497, uncomment:
#glDisable (GL_TEXTURE_1D)

And everything works beautifully with ubuntu 20.04!

I tested with 20.04 with the code as it looks in the PPA, and it worked for me.

What graphics card are you using?
