You can try to use Oracle JDK and the suggested fix here #1192

Did it work?

[gohoyer]

I had the same problem and running gephi with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./gephi did the trick for me.

[motatuc]

I was doing it the same way as @gohoyer described it.

+1, and @gohoyer 's workaround works for me.
