Re: [chimerax-users] ChimeraX does not work on windows server running RDS
Hi Fabian, If Chimera works and ChimeraX does not it may be that your system graphics driver does not support the more modern OpenGL graphics version (3.3) required by ChimeraX. Our UCSF servers are down -- below is a PDF of the ChimeraX troubleshooting page which talks about inadequate graphics drivers. Maybe starting in debug mode will indicate if that is a problem. Tom

Dear Tom,
Thanks a lot for your quick answer. Yes, Chimera works, and ChimeraX does not show anything, the link you provided seems to be not available at this moment.
Can we provide you with additional information?
Thanks,
Fabian

Have other versions of ChimeraX or Chimera worked on these computers?

Dear Elaine,
When we try to run ChimeraX 1.3 on server 2016 windows on a computer farm (for teaching purposes), nothing happens, despite that the installation worked perfectly well.
Any suggestion what we could do?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Fabian

I see, that explains the problem I guess… Thanks a lot, Fabian -------------------------- Fabian Glaser, PhD Structural and Computational Biology Unit The Lorry I. Lokey Center for Life Sciences and Engineering Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel
