I have a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 installation running nvidia drivers 515.48.07 with CUDA Version: 11.7. I am using 2 Quadro RTX 6000 graphic cards. I installed Omniverse, Nucleus and Cache successfully, but the installation of Isaac Sim failed with the following error:

My OpenGL Version is:

glxinfo | grep “OpenGL version”
OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 21.2.6

Are there any requirements on the OpenGL version? And how can I update OpenGL?
Thank you and kind regards

OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa
Means you’re using software rendering.
Are you running from remote?

Ah, yes I am using FastX as a remote control. Is that the problem?

Yes, it uses a virtual Xserver running on the cpu, not an Xserver running on a real gpu. Please start an Xserver on the nvidia gpu, then connect to it using e.g. x11vnc/vnc0server
