I get the error:

Don't I have the v1.4 version installed from NVIDIA? Note that this is using VNC, so maybe there's an issue with that?

[SimonDanisch]

direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

This is a big red flag ;) That even more so:

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2

This means you don't have hardware accelerated OpenGL installed. I'm guessing you haven't installed the NVIDIA driver correctly, which is pretty much the default on linux.

[ChrisRackauckas]

It is installed, but it doesn't automatically get used over VNC. I can try running the Julia process through VirtualGL: vglrun julia, but yeah this starts to become a project.

[SimonDanisch]

Oh sorry, overlooked the VNC. Uh yeah, that\s difficult... You can have a look at:
#117

[SimonDanisch]

duplication of #146
