Unable to view sprite atlas in Dive

[dhaners]

I have installed Facets to be used in a jupyter notebook and followed the instructions on the github page. I tried to load the provided notebook, Dive_demo.ipynb, but I am unable to view any data points (although clicking on different areas inside the image does display information on the right hand side).

This same visualization displays properly on the facets website https://pair-code.github.io/facets/.

Is there any additional setup I must complete to view the default sprite atlas?

Interesting problem. Do you see any errors in the developers console for the browser when you run the cell that renders the visualization (control-shift-i and then click on the console tab, if using chrome)?

Seems like it might be web-gl related as web-gl is used to render the sprites in the visualization.

Hmm yes I do see web-gl related messages in the developers console:

How might I be able to fix that?

Do you not see these same errors if in the same browser you go to the facets website and view Facets Dive?

Yes now that I am looking the website shows the same thing. When I was looking at the website earlier I was using my local browser but I actually want to be able to view this in my VM, which is where I am seeing these errors.

... I actually want to be able to view this in my VM, which is where I am seeing these errors.

That makes sense. To make WebGL work with a VM, there are different steps for different VM providers, graphics drivers and guest OSs. It sounds like you may need to troubleshoot WebGL + your VM setup first before using Dive.

Closing this issue as it is a problem with using webGL with a VM, outside the scope of Facets
