Topic Description

Detailed Description

When trying to launch the compatibility checker .sh file for install and launch, an error message pops up and there is no pop up on my machine. I believe I installed every prerequisite, but I’m seeing a GLXBadFBConfig error. I am not sure if it is an issue with the driver/OpenGL version, and I’m not sure how to address it.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. In the folder with the Compatibility Checker files, run ./omni.isaac.sim.compatibility_check.sh

Error Messages

Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig
