No answer.

Is libEGL\_nvidia.so.465.19.01 compatible with K80?

I solved the problem.

Now gives the following error:

As last experience, this is from Version 5.9.

But Linux Version 5.8 has not EGL support.

I try also Nightly and gives the same error.

See please the command line.

Can you please give a solution? I need EGL support and solve the above error.

5.9.0 should work… Only 5.9.1 is the broken one with missing cryptography. That information was already given to you months ago…

I had more recent information on Windows that was broken from 5.8 to 5.9. And I supposed, that at the time, in Linux the 5.9.0 was a special edition “RC” tagged.

Thanks for the information.

I would like to ask how you solved this problem: `/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenGL.so.0: undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Current`? It’s very urgent. Thank you for your answer.

They fixed it by updating ParaView.
