chimerax fails to start

Hello, I have an issue starting ChimeraX_1.3 for ubuntu20.04. "chimerax" command gives the following: NOTE: available bundle cache has not been initialized yet NOTE: Updating list of available bundles failed: Internal Server Error WARNING: WebEngineContext used before QtWebEngine::initialize() or OpenGL context creation failed. WARNING: QGLXContext: Failed to create dummy context ERROR: Could not create OpenGL context BUG: Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize 24, redBufferSize -1, greenBufferSize -1, blueBufferSize -1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize 8, samples 0, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::DefaultSwapBehavior, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile) Aborted (core dumped) Any advice please? Best, Sam

Hi Sam, This means your computer's OpenGL driver is not adequate. You will need to update or install an OpenGL driver to get ChimeraX to work. Tom
