Failed to run RViz and Gazebo (libgl error)

[hliyanto]

I tried to run the docker image via rocker using the following command:

rocker --x11 rosswg/turtlebot3_demo:roscon19 "byobu -f configs/unsecure.conf attach"

and got the following error in gazebo:

and RViz:

[charvi-077]

How did you solved this error ? I am facing the same error

[SebastianGrans]

@charvi-077: I had the error Failed to create an OpenGL context. BadValue when I tried starting RViz. Rebooting solved it for me 🤷

[shulanbushangshu]

yes ,Rebooting solved it for me too

[jakobhyke]

Did not solve it for me unfortunately
I have no problem displaying the driver in the docker image

But running rviz or any other app that can use GPU leads to errors:

Failed to create an OpenGL context. BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
