For some reason, my Ogre application was failing with:
Code: Select all
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
However, until I found this (several weeks), Ogre was working fine, except for some very odd errors, with anything involving manualobjects or hardware buffers. There was nothing in the Ogre log; this error was in stdout or stderr.
It would be nice if Ogre somehow would check for this (whatever it is) and issue a warning in the logs.
