Apparently I am using OpenGL 4.5. I ran the <code>glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"</code> command and just saw 3.1. Running
<code>glxinfo | grep OpenGL</code> shows "OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 21.0.3", among other things.</div>

<div class="">Hi Tony,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
There is a ChimeraX command "graphics driver" that reports in the Log panel what graphics driver you are using. Definitely the graphics will not work if it does not support OpenGL 3.3 so you must have that.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">By the way OpenGL 3.3 came out in 2010. So almost any new driver will have OpenGL 4.5 or 4.6 support and those all provide 3.3 support which is what ChimeraX requires.<br class="">

<div class="" style="font-size:12pt">My Ubuntu 20.04 in Oracle VM VirtualBox can run ChimeraX 1.2.5 and the latest daily build without any issues (aside from the VM lag). It looks like it only has OpenGL ES version 3.2, OpenGL version 3.1, and my host computer
(Windows) has OpenGL version 4.6. I don't get any warning when launching ChimeraX in my VM. My Oracle VirtualBox version is 6.1.26 r145957. I've only used it couple of times, and I don't recall changing any settings. I don't know why it works for me and not
you, but let me know if I can share additional info or settings.<br class="">

<div class="" style="font-size:12pt">Like Greg said, ChimeraX's performance on my VM is not great. I only used this VM to figure out why menus on my bundle's tools weren't appearing for some users. The Ubuntu desktop environment I installed (Unity) is one of
the desktop environments with a magical setting that made my menus disappear. I don't think I'd recommend using a VM outside of debugging things like this if you can run a native version of ChimeraX.<br class="">
