Hello community, I hope someone can help me with my problem.
I login to a Ubuntu machine running 18.04.3 kernel GNU/Linux 4.15.0-58-generic
x86_64 using "ssh -X -o ServerAliveInterval=60". When I start Firefox I get
the following:
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
[Parent 30374, Gecko_IOThread] WARNING: pipe error: Broken pipe: file
/build/firefox-qCOyDf/firefox-68.0.2+build1/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc

line 727
Firefox continues to work for awhile or I quit and restart it or I start
another X11 application then I get this:
Unable to init server: Broadway display type not supported: localhost:10.0
Error: cannot open display: localhost:10.0
I can logout and then log back in and Firefox and other X11 applications will
work again for awhile.
I verified there is a libgl installed and is the most recent. The hardware is
a Dell 7425 with Dual 16-core APYC processors, 128 GB memory and the software
was installed last week. Our sysadmin logged into the machine with X
forwarding from his Ubuntu workstation and did not have any issues with firefox
or other X applications at all. This makes it seem that it is something Mac
related.
Should I be looking for a different libgl library? Could there be a Mac X11
configuration item that I could look at? I am running MacOS 10.14.6 on an iMac
Pro that is 8 months old. I downloaded the X11 package last week with XQuartz
indicating version 2.7.11
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I can continue to logout and
login, but doing that every 15-20 minutes sorta disrupts the work flow.
THANKS!
Charles
