Spyder v3.0.0b3 gives QOpenGLShader errors during startup

See original GitHub issue

First of all, thanks a lot for the fast fixes regarding the (Py)Qt5 problems. I really appreciate it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Initiate spyder from the terminal
Splashscreen counts the tasks and disappear
A proper titlebar and a window is setup however inside is completely empty (black)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Instead of the window panes nothing appears and the terminal repeats the following

""
QOpenGLShaderProgram::uniformLocation( qt_Matrix ): shader program is not linked
QOpenGLShaderProgram: could not create shader program
QOpenGLShader: could not create shader
QOpenGLShader: could not create shader
shader compilation failed: 
""

Versions and main components

Spyder Version: 3.0.0b3
Python Version: 3.5.1
Operating system: Linux Mint 17
PyQt5 : 5.6 (via PyQt5.QtCore.PYQT_VERSION_STR)

I also have Python 3.4 installed and I’m not sure which one is picked up by Spyder but python3 maps to 3.4.

I have same issue. Fedora 24, x86_64, Nvidia GTX 550 Ti with driver NVIDIA 367.44

Instructions by @ilayn doesn’t work for me. But I found another solution.

Adding

from OpenGL import GL

into site-packages/spyder/app/start.py solves problem. Now Spyder starts fine. But it creates +1 dependency - pyopengl.

just installing PyOpenGL worked for me

conda install pyopengl
