It seems like you are missing the appropriate graphics driver. Please run
"lspci | grep VGA" (without the quotes) in a terminal window, and send us
the output.

Hello
I found that the problem was that chimerax is very sensitive to what was in the path. I removed conda from the path and chimerax worked.
Thanks anyways
Mohamad

Thank you for the update. Can you help us figure out what in your conda setup broke ChimeraX? I would expect that if ChimeraX broke, then other programs would break too.
Please share how you set up your conda environment, so I can reproduce the bug. To keep it private, you can email it to me directly at gregc@….
I see on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41992277/update-conda-conda-breaks: "You must have selected the "Add to PATH" option while installing or updating. This used to be the default but is no longer recommended." Did you do that?
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
It seems like you are missing the appropriate graphics driver. Please run "lspci | grep VGA" (without the quotes) in a terminal window, and send us the output.
