I am getting OpenGL support is inadequate problem.  
The drivers are installed. Any suggestions on what  
to do?

opensuse-15  
paraview 5.4.1 64-bit

openGL support inadequate

Your openGL drivers dont support required openGL features  
for basic rendering. Application cannot continue.  
Please exit and use an older version

Continue at your own risk!

Are you running in a VM ? What is your gpu ?

There is no VM, also this is just a simple desktop with  
I think an i5, no GPU either.

You must have some kind of GPU, even an integrated chipset.  
Please post the results of :  
`glxinfo`  
`lspci`

Looks like your hardware is not suported, you can try with mesa/llvm instead.

`paraview --mesa`

Hi,

Can you run `./bin/vtkProbeOpenGLVersion` if it is available?  
If not, try running `glxinfo | grep OpenGL`

Looks like you using mesa with an old driver.

You need to make sure your drivers supports mesa and llvm is installed correctly.

Instead of updating your local `llvm`, you can use the `llvm` that ships with ParaView. Try running with

`paraview --mesa-llvm`

I think Cory’s suggestion is correct. However, ParaView’s error messages (and advice) needs clarification. I wrote up a feature request here: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/18549](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/18549).

VirtualBox does not provide a sufficient version of OpenGL for ParaView.
