CRITICAL ERROR: need opengl 3.0 support

Open denysthegitmenace opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I installed the open source edition on Ubuntu 14.04 (although did have troubles with dependencies installation).

When i run ./info-beamer samples/hello I get the following output:

Info Beamer 1.0pre4.47a5ea+Lua 5.1 (http://info-beamer.org/)

[main.c] chdir /home/denys/info-beamer/samples
[main.c] root node is hello
[main.c] tcp/udp port is 4444
[main.c] initial size is 1024x768
CRITICAL ERROR: need opengl 3.0 support

Any suggestions on how to fix it ?

This means that your graphics driver is most likely not capable of running info-beamer. That's the output of

glxinfo |egrep "OpenGL|glx"

Are you running info-beamer in a virtual machine? If so, #22 is probably relevant.

Yep, it's a virtual machine. Thank you. I'l try to figure it out and let you know how it went.
