Ubuntu 22.04 Cura 5 - Could not probe OpenGL. This program requires OpenGL 2.0 or higher.

[FuzzyFace 0]

I've just downloaded the latest version of Cura (V5 AppImage) onto my Ubuntu 22.04 laptop but in always gives the following message.

 

Quote

Could not probe OpenGL. This program requires OpenGL 2.0 or higher. Please check your video card drivers.

My graphics is Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics (TGL GT2) and I've upgraded to the latest drivers.

 

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" gives OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 22.1.1 - kisak-mesa PPA

 

I'm using Gnome 42.1 on Wayland.

 

Any ideas on what else I can try?

Hey there, apparently it's a known issue (having to do with Wayland, so you need to launch Ubuntu in X, or have a way to package xwayland into the appimage, which isn't that easy). It's still an open issue on the repo:

Many thanks. I've reverted to Cura 4.13.1 which seems to work fine (so far).

I have the same issue, but I could fix it with prepending

MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 ./Ultimaker-Cura-5.1.0-linux.AppImage

Hey,

 

We released two versions for Cura 5.1 to help linux users running into OpenGL issues. 
You can download the Linux-Modern version on the Ultimaker website or on the github.
https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura

If you want to learn a little bit of the history, workarounds or how we resolved it you can find it here in this gihub issue. https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/11856

Good luck!

What version of ubuntu @WastelandPhantom?   I have ubuntu 20.04.4 and cura works for me but I get similar errors sometimes and I have to reboot ubuntu.  I don't know why.  I only reboot about once per month but it's still annoying.

 

I'm pretty sure cura 5 will not work on older version of ubuntu (older than 20.X).  But Cura 4.X should be fine on somewhat older versions.

The following error:

happens during the loading of the UI on a modern system also:

the prefix override works for me.

MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 cura

these instructions worked for me (I just followed them up to step 2 since I already had the GPU drivers installed)

To ensure your Ubuntu system supports OpenGL 2.0 or higher, you need to install appropriate graphics drivers and libraries. You can typically achieve this by updating your system, installing the necessary packages, and potentially installing drivers specific to your hardware (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel). 

 

Here's a breakdown of the process:

 

 

1. Update and Upgrade Your System:

• Update Package Lists: Open a terminal and run sudo apt update to refresh the package lists.
• Upgrade Packages: Run sudo apt upgrade to install any available updates for your system. 
   

 

2. Install Essential OpenGL Libraries:

• Install Mesa Libraries:

  These are the core libraries for OpenGL implementation:

  • sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev libegl1-mesa-dev 
     
• Install FreeGLUT (if needed):

  This library provides a windowing system for OpenGL applications:

  • sudo apt install freeglut3-dev 
     
• Install GLEW (if needed):

  This library helps with OpenGL function loading:

  • sudo apt install libglew-dev 
     

 

3. Identify and Install Graphics Drivers:

• Check your GPU:

  Determine if you have an NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel graphics card. 

   
• NVIDIA:

  • Install NVIDIA Drivers: You can install the latest NVIDIA drivers using the sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall command or by adding the NVIDIA PPA and upgrading. 
     
  • Add NVIDIA PPA (alternative):
    • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa 
       
    • sudo apt update 
       
    • sudo apt upgrade 
       
    • sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall 
       
• AMD:

  • Install AMD Drivers: You may need to install the AMD Catalyst drivers or use the open-source drivers (MoltenVK). 
     
  • Install MoltenVK (alternative):
    • sudo apt install mesa-utils 
       
    • sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri 
       
• Intel:

  • Intel Drivers: Intel graphics typically use the open-source Mesa drivers, which should be installed by default. 
     

 

4. Verify OpenGL Version:

• Use glxinfo:

  Open a terminal and run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" to check the supported OpenGL version. 

   
• Example Output:

  The output should show the OpenGL version supported by your system, such as "OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Core Profile)". 

   

 

Troubleshooting:

• Wayland Issues: If you encounter problems with OpenGL in Wayland, consider using Xorg instead (launch Ubuntu with Xorg). 
   
• Driver Conflicts: If you have multiple drivers installed, try uninstalling or blacklisting conflicting drivers. 
   
• Check GPU Support: Ensure your GPU hardware supports the desired OpenGL version.
