I want to thank Manidip Shasmal for using Chimera's Report a Bug dialog to submit this as a bug. With the information in the bug report, I was able to see that the NVIDIA graphics driver was not installed. Installing that driver will fix his problem. So a general comment, for interactive graphics, the graphics drivers, that come with the Linux server editions, are too old and buggy for Chimera. You would be much better off with a desktop edition of Linux, like Ubuntu. -- Greg On 04/08/2011 12:12 AM, manidip_rs@iicb.res.in wrote:
I have downloaded and installed chimera-1.5.3-linux_x86_64.bin <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/cgi-bin/chimera-get.py?file=linux_x86_64/chimera-1.5.3-linux_x86_64.bin>, release date April 05,2011. But after opening a volume data the volume is appearing as random slices. I have checked all the other necessary requirements. I am using RHEL 5.4 and NVIDIA graphics. Please suggest.
