openGL error for X forwarding mistral - mac #27

Closed florianziemen closed 3 years ago

florianziemen commented 3 years ago

When I start psyplot on mistral.dkrz.de from my laptop, I get these error messages.

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Unrecognized OpenGL version
Unrecognized OpenGL version

That can be fixed following https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/429760/opengl-rendering-with-x11-forwarding On the mac (command line)

quartz-wm --help

will yield something like (default: org.xquartz.X11) in its lowest line of output. Use that output in

defaults write org.xquartz.X11(or whatever you got) enable_iglx -bool true 3

restart Xquartz

thanks for documenting this issue @florianziemen! I suppose we can close it as you already found the solution? Or is there more to it?

Yes, I think you can close it. If you can catch the error, an error message with a hint for solving it would be good, but the problem is not in psyplot and we have a solution.

Thanks for the help in finding the issue! :)

And thanks for psyplot!

Cheers
