My gpu is RTX8000 and I’ve already installed nvidia driver 460. However when i run `glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"`, it shows my OpenGL version is 3.1. Though I have reinstalled nvidia driver many times, it still throws `X Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig` problem. How to update opengl version to recommended OpenGL 4.6? ---

Hi, try uninstalling the drivers and opengl again if you installed it separately or using apt-get install. We recommend installing the NVIDIA driversuing the .run installer. Try the 470 version here: > **[Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver | 470.63.01 | Linux 64-bit | NVIDIA](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/179599/en-us/)** > > Download the English (US) Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver for Linux 64-bit systems. Released 2021.8.10 Here’s a guide to do the install.

And when i run `inix -G`, it shows ```auto inxi -Gx Graphics: Card-1: Red Hat QXL paravirtual graphic card bus-ID: 00:02.0 Card-2: NVIDIA Device 1e30 bus-ID: 00:0c.0 Display Server: N/A drivers: modesetting,fbdev,vesa,nouveau FAILED: nvidia tty size: 142x33 Advanced Data: N/A out of X ``` ---

Can I have more info on your setup, please? Are you on Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04? You may need to blacklist the nouveau drivers and have X11 installed. Do you have a display monitor connected to the GPU? ---

My os is ubuntu 18.04, the nouveau drivers are blacked and X11 is installed. Isaac sim is running on a cloud server. ---

Can you try running Isaac Sim in headless mode? > ./isaac-sim.headless.websocket.sh ---
