[Question] Your graphics drivers do not support OpenGL 2.0.

[BeWaterMyFriend7]

When I run env.render() the rendering fails, a black pop-up window appears, and an warning is reported:

Your graphics drivers do not support OpenGL 2.0.
You may experience rendering issues or crashes.

I have reinstalled the nvidia graphics driver, but the problem still exists

Enviroment

ubuntu20.04 RTX2080Ti X3
nvidia-smi：NVIDIA-SMI 460.91.03 Driver Version: 460.91.03 CUDA Version: 11.2

What environment are you trying to render? And does your device have a version of Ubuntu with a UI installed and a monitor attached?

I get the same issue when trying to render the CarRacing-v0 environment.

OS: Linux Mint 20.2 Uma (Ubuntu Focal) I'm not running headless and yes with a UI installed and monitors connected.
nvidia-smi: NVIDIA-SMI 470.63.01 Driver Version: 470.63.01 CUDA Version: 11.4

I did also notice that I get the following warning

I had the same problem with similar setup, for further testing I tried running pyglet 'Hello World' example and got the same error. I think this issue is on pyglet

I also found this relevant issue on their repo pyglet/pyglet#454, however I still got problems after installing the maintence version as described there

Reverting pyglet version to 1.5.19 seem to have solved this for me, I think we could limit to up to this version until a new release fixes it?

[jkterry1]

Limiting pyglet to that version will break installs for various people. It used to be limited and then we got a bunch of issues.

got it! And I think it is not necessary anymore, as pyglet released 1.5.21 today and it fixed this issue for me. @BeWaterMyFriend7 and @dre2004 try upgrading pyglet to the latest version and check if it solves the issue. :)

Thank you very much! This issue has troubled me for a long time and even I have the idea of ​​reinstalling the system. Now I upgraded pyglet and it was solved.
Also thanks to all contributors for your hard work. @jkterry1

Running 'Hello World' under Linux with X11, I got the 'Your graphics drivers do not support OpenGL 2.0....' but only occasionally when running remotely via exported display in an ssh session. I diagnosed and then fixed the issue by running with:

     pyglet.options['debug_gl'] = True
     pyglet.options['debug_gl'] = True
     pyglet.options['debug_gl_trace'] = True
     pyglet.options['debug_x11'] = True

Observing stderr during a failure indicated a bad malloc in X11 was causing the failure. Updated my Nvidia drivers and it fixed it. Try with DEBUG options and see what you get.
