I am using openfoam for the first time. After installing openfoam, I get the following error while opening paraview 5.8.0-1: Can someone help me out with this?

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

Does glxgears work in the same environment? It looks like you’re missing video drivers that OpenGL can use.

3

Yes when I am typing glxgears, its working. How do I find what driver is need by OpenGL and how do I get it? I tried nvidea-smi, I have NVIDEA−SMI 340.108 installed right now

4

Hmm. This SO answer seems to indicate that there is a conflict with a mesa library. Are you on 16.04? We’ve had other reports of failures there that are fixed when using it on 18.04 if that’s a possible solution.

5

I am using Manjaro KDE plasma version 5.18.3. It doesn’t seem to conflict with mesa. But check the last command. Mesa is connected with libgl.

I tried few commands:

Command 1:

Also, do you think its related to having nvidia-340-xx driver?? I had nvidia 390-xx originally but I am using nvidia-340 xx driver as the main software I am using is more compatible with nvidia 340-xx driver!!

7

It could be. I don’t think we test with such old versions of the nvidia driver.

8

Instead of using ParaView from OpenFOAM, can you try with :

9

Thank you for you replies. I tried switch back to nvidia 390-xx driver… Now it works… Maybe paraview 5.8.0 is not compatible with nvidia 340-xx driver

10

Thanks… But I am not sure it will make a difference… It seems like the problem was that paraview was not compatible with nvidia-340 xx driver
