Re: OpenGL and ssh tunneling

[Clinton Winant]

For both glxgears and glx info I get "not installed, install mesa-utils", which I would do except that I know the server uses another set of GL divers, and I dont want to mess that up. 

Your point is that if I cant get glxgears to run, then there is no hope for octave and if thats the case, I will figure out how to get glxgears to run.

Thanks so much, yet once again.

I run Octave on a remote server that I tunnel into via

ssh -X server_IP

I get great plots using the gnuplot toolkit, but strange results using qt.  Is this because ssh can't deal with openGL, is there any way around it?

I realize this is not an Octave issue, but perhaps someone has an idea??

​I had misc issues periodically, but they tend to get resolved after some system updates.

Can you run glxgears on the remote server?

Can you post output of "glxinfo -B" (again on the remote server)?

Do you ran old X11 or new Wayland (on either of remote/local computer)?​
