[kicad-users] OpenGL not found

[Danilo Uccelli [e-mail] [kicad-users]]

Hello everybody,

In my fresh install of "Linux Mint Mate 19", I installed Kicad 5.0.0 stable
release but it seems I cannot work with pcbnew in mode F11.
The error message I get is : "OpenGL 2.1 or higher is required!"

But if I type the below command in a terminal, the OpenGL seems OK :

***@pc-du2:~$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version string"
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.106

....and glxgears run perfectly with about 60 fps

What I missed ?

Thank you in advance for any idea.
Danilo

It seems there is an issue with opengl and nvidia cards.

https://forum.kicad.info/t/v5-0-0-rc2-opengl-not-detected-ubuntu-18-04/11318/9

I cannot test if the workaround works.

Regards,
Pedro.

To Stefano : I was also not able to display the 3d rendering.

To Pedro : The workaround works fine for me, thank you very much.

Kind regards.
