[Chimera-users] Chimera does not run

[Greg Couch]

Try running "chimera --debug" and CHIMERA/bin/linuxdist and sending me 
the output from both programs.  That said, it's probably a problem with 
the graphics driver.  If you have AMD or NVIDIA graphics, try installing 
the proprietary graphics driver -- the proprietary drivers are much 
faster than the open source ones.  If you have Intel graphics, then the 
best way to get a better driver is to upgrade to a newer version of 
Ubuntu.  If you have AMD graphics and it still doesn't work with the 
proprietary driver, then try the Chimera daily build (can't remember if 
that happened with Ubuntu 14.04, but it is a problem with 15.04 -- the 
open source AMD driver works in 15.04 but is slower than the proprietary 
AMD driver).

     HTH,

    Greg
