Hi JR, I'm playing a bit with the 1.4.1 on a old dual core ( 64bit, 4gb RAM) with Ubuntu. I tried to simply load and display the pointcloud (appr. 500Mb, 7.5M points) but RStudio opens it with rgl by default and not with this viewer. I installed the necessary libs as described in the initial page and no error is reported. Any idea where to look for the issue? I'm definitely not experienced with ubuntu.

Hi, rgl is the default viewer in any cases. Switch the backend package using:

plot(las, backend = "pcv")

Edit: btw this is a question for the lidR package.
