I'm trying to run the latest Scilab with Lubuntu 14.04, and I get an error "Mesa 10.1.3 implementation error: Incomplete OpenGL ES 2.0 support"

This is on a 10 year old Dell Dimension 8300 with all the original stuff. The card is reported in the "Software & Updates" program "Additional Drivers" window as an NVIDEA GeForce FX 5200.

I've tried this both with the X.Org X server driver, and the NVIDIA Legacy binary driver. The result was the same both ways.

Clues for the clueless would be much appreciated here. Thanks.

  • Oops -- installing the NVIDIA driver and then rebooting seems to have solved the problem.

    It's a good thing you don't have to be very smart to breath.

    If that was the solution you should post an answer to your own question and then accept it. That way other users can easily see what worked for you :) – TheSchwa Aug 10 '14 at 22:37
  • The first time I tried I just got a pop-up nastygram about waiting eight hours before I could do that. – TimWescott Aug 29 '14 at 20:51
