I am trying to run a julia program from an ssh session with X-forwarding (note that `xclock` correctly opens the clock window in my local Xquartz)

I have this configuration on my remote Ubuntu 18.04 box:

```julia
$ inxi -G
Graphics: Card: NVIDIA GP104GL [Tesla P4]
           Display Server: X.Org 1.21.1.6 driver: nvidia Resolution: 4080x2146@1.00hz
           OpenGL: renderer: Tesla P4/PCIe/SSE2 version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 525.60.13

```

this is my package status:

```julia

when I try `using GLMakie` I get this error:

I am kind of lost to debug this error, my video card supports OpenGL 4.6 from the specs… what is going wrong here?

The phrase to search for is “opengl X11 forwarding”  
[Here](https://superuser.com/questions/196838/opengl-program-not-work-with-x-forwarding) is one result I got. If you are in an HPC environment, there may  
be documentation for site options as well.

Success with [`xpra`](https://www.xpra.org/) has been mentioned on [zulip](https://julialang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/137791-general/topic/remote.20plotting/near/338615476),  
and here is another approach:

> Thanks @t-bltg! [SixelTerm.jl](https://github.com/eschnett/SixelTerm.jl) built using Sixels.jl works perfectly for me. It displays CairoMakie figures in the terminal directly. Because X11 forwarding was not working properly for GLMakie, I had to rely on UnicodePlots.jl to display the results calculated on a remote Linux cluster, but now I can use CairoMakie.jl and SixelTerm.jl. Here is a screen capture showing how it works:

glxinfo should tell you if you have forwarding set up for an OpenGL session.  
The classical way to test was to run glxspheres

xpra does look useful …

thanks @devel-chm , I actually have `LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1` in my env.

@ederag I think you are suggesting ditching XQuartz in favour of xpra?

this is my glxinfo but I don’t see that piece of information @johnh is mentioning:

I always used `glxgears` because it seemed to be available more often.  
For example, my current system only shows `glxgears` and `glxinfo`

My bad. As @devel-chm says glxspheres and glxgears are test applications

> I think you are suggesting ditching XQuartz in favour of xpra?

Maybe (I thought that xpra might have better GL support)

```julia
┌ Warning: GLFW couldn't create an OpenGL window.
│ This likely means, you don't have an OpenGL capable Graphic Card,
│ or you don't have an OpenGL 3.3 capable video driver installed.

```

but your `glxinfo` says

```julia
OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 525.60.13

```

which seems fine.

Looks very similar to

Aha. I think you need to talk to your friendly sys admins (\*) and ask what they use for accelerated X access.  
I would sagely say ‘virtualGL and VNC’ but I am not fan of virtualGL  
Nice DCV has a MacOS client, but that is a commercial product.

(\*) Yeah I know they live in the basement, wear black and growl at you. Just bring cookies.

Ahaha well server is mine, but I am not really a sysadmin… even though I like cookies.

I’ll check this out, thanks!

This error is reported: ```  
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

```julia
The solution presented is:

swrast
swrast is provided by libgl1-mesa-dri

Try:

sudo apt install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri
Uninstalling NVIDIA drivers provided by Ubuntu
Installing NVIDIA drivers from its website (warning: in rare cases the installer leaves your system in a state where it won't boot to a GUI, make sure you have SSH access so you can restore it to a working state like e.g. running ./installer --uninstall.
By default Ubuntu's package enables NVIDIA drivers and disables or breaks the Mesa ones; while the official installer keeps Mesa working alongside NVIDIA drivers. This can lead to very different results in use cases like yours.
```

The same error here. Using the `glxgears` opens the window in XQuartz but they are stuck.
