Evolution mail in R8
« on: June 10, 2014, 08:04:34 AM »
I'd like to run evolution mail and calendar.  It installs fine but will not start.  If I try to start from terminal I get this error;
Failed to connected to any renderer:  XServer appears to lack required GLX support  Google searching the error leads me back to several Debian references but no solution that I can understand.  Most refer to Nvidia drivers but I have an Intel video card.  I ran Evolution on this computer when using R5.

Hi there what flavor of wattOS R8 exactly are you running so I can replicate the issue in a VM in my lab? 32 or 64bit, Microwatt, LXDE or Mate'

I will test as soon as I know.

32 bit, LXDE.  This seems to be a problem in Debian but I can't find a solution that I understand.

To see this topic, I installed Evolution. ( sudo apt-get install evolution )
As a result of having started it, I met with a problem of n_spect_r.
This is not a problem peculiar to a PC of n_spect_r.
