opengl 3.1 textures not loading

Question

I've been trying to get texturing working under opengl 3.1 on an intel HD graphics 2000/3000 graphics card running on ubuntu 13.04. The issue i'm running into is textures either dont load and the basic triangle i'm trying to texture comes up black, or some color from the texture will get loaded but not the entire image. I get the same outcomes using a raw image file as the source or loading a jpeg with libjpeg.

My shaders are as follows:

Vertex shader

#version 130

in vec3 vert;
in vec2 vertTextCoord;

out vec2 fragTexCoord;

void main(){
    fragTexCoord = vertTextCoord;
    gl_Position = vec4(vert,1);

}

Fragment shader

#version 130

uniform sampler2D tex;

in vec2 fragTexCoord;

out vec4 finalColor;

void main() {

    finalColor = texture(tex, fragTexCoord);
}

code for creating the texture glGenTextures( 1, &texture); glBindTexture( GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);

imgdata image_data = loadRaw("texture.bmp", 256, 256);

glTexParameteri( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR );
glTexParameteri( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR );
glTexParameteri( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S,GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T,GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, 256, 256, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,image_data.data);

and the render function

void display(void){
glClearColor( 1.f, 0.f, 0.f, 0.f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT );

//load program to use
glUseProgram(shaderprogram);

GLint uniform = glGetUniformLocation(shaderprogram, "tex");
if(uniform == -1){
    throw std::runtime_error(std::string("program uniform not found: tex"));
}

// bind the texture
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
glUniform1i(uniform, 0);

//load vertex array to use
glBindVertexArray(cubeVAO);

//draw triangle
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);

//unbind for next pass
glBindVertexArray(0);
glUseProgram(0);

glfwSwapBuffers();
}

the geometry and texture coordinates

GLfloat data[] = {
//X   Y    Z     U    V
0.0f, 0.8f, 0.0f,      0.5f, 1.0f,
-0.8f, -0.8f, 0.0f,    0.0f, 0.0f,
0.8f, -0.8f, 0.0f,     1.0f, 0.0f
};

VBO and VAO being setup

glGenVertexArrays(1, &cubeVAO);
glBindVertexArray(cubeVAO);
glGenBuffers(1, &cubeVBO);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, cubeVBO);

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(data), data, GL_STATIC_DRAW);


glEnableVertexAttribArray(vertprog);
glVertexAttribPointer(vertprog, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 5*sizeof(GLfloat), NULL);

glEnableVertexAttribArray(verttexprog);
glVertexAttribPointer(verttexprog, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_TRUE, 5*sizeof(GLfloat), (const GLvoid*)(3*sizeof(GLfloat)));

glBindVertexArray(0);

You have not shown the code where you determine the value of verttexprog . From the code you have currently, I have to assume that verttexprog (this is a terrible variable name, by the way) is uninitialized.

You should initialize verttexprog to glGetAttribLocation (program, "vertTextCoord"); after you link your program. Likewise, do not query uniform locations each frame, the only time they change is after you (re-)link a GLSL program.

Your texture is being loaded correctly, but your texture coordinates are not. If you want to see this in action, you can replace:

 finalColor = texture(tex, fragTexCoord); 

with:

 finalColor = texture(tex, gl_FragCoord.st); 

This is not the behavior you want, but it is a great way to show that your texture is loaded fine.
