I want to create a pipeline rendering 3D on remote server and visualize locally via Mac XQuartz. But I am new to 3D rendering and openGL. I found VirtualGL a helpful tool to do this, but I met a bug when configuring VirtualGL.
I have a Ubuntu 16.04 server with 3 Quadro P5000. I downloaded LINUX X64 (AMD64/EM64T) DISPLAY DRIVER
with version number 390.77
I installed several mesa packages
$ apt list --installed | grep mesa
libegl1-mesa/xenial-updates,now 18.0.5-0ubuntu0~16.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libgl1-mesa-dev/xenial-updates,now 18.0.5-0ubuntu0~16.04.1 amd64 [installed]

mesa-vdpau-drivers/now 17.2.8-0ubuntu0~16.04.1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 18.0.5-0ubuntu0~16.04.1]
Then I tried
$ glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
I tried optirun
$ optirun -d $DISPLAY glxgears
[VGL] NOTICE: Automatically setting VGL_CLIENT environment variable to
[VGL] 138.25.150.116, the IP address of your SSH client.

My display management service is lightdm, so there is no xorg.log. However, I didn't find useful lightdm log in /var/log/lightdm
. It looks like a common problem but all solution online are tried without progress. Does anyone knows how to debug it ?
