Error when loading project in bimsurfer3. WebGL not support.

[dcapeletti]

Hello, when I go to http://localhost:8080/apps/bimsurfer3/apps/dev.html and click on the project, the following message appears: Unable to initialize WebGL. Your browser or machine may not support it.

However if I go to https://get.webgl.org/ it tells me that my browser has support for webgl.

Does this happen to you? How can I solve my problem? Attached is a picture of the error.

Using Firefox 68.10.0esr (64-bit) on Debian 9.

This version uses webgl2, what's the info on this page https://get.webgl.org/webgl2/ ?

About wegl2 it says: Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL2, it is disabled or unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for your video card.

However when I go to https://get.webgl.org/webgl2/enable.html to determine the webgl2 configuration neither chrome nor firefox work. I think it's a problem with my video card. My video card is Intel HD Graphics 3000.

I really have no idea if my card supports webgl2. If you have any help I will be grateful.

Attached is a picture of the configuration I made in chrome.

Yes, for some time we can expect these kind of issues (especially on Linux). I would pick this up with the community of Firefox/Chrome and see if you they can guide you to resolve this. This isn't specific to BIMsurfer.
