    11To confirm, you are running ChimeraX on a Ubuntu Linux server and remotely displaying to a Mac.  Unfortunately, we don't officially support running ChimeraX remotely, it frequently fails as you have discovered.

    3 But unofficially, I'd recommend installing the virtualgl package on the remote Ubuntu server, and run "vglrun chimerax" instead of "chimerax".  VirtualGL works best if there is a 3D graphics card in the Linux server, along with the corresponding graphics drivers, since it convert the 3D graphics to a 2D image on the remote server.   And it needs a X11 display server to be running on the Ubuntu server.  So it's a bit of a pain to setup, but when it works, it works great.
