External Email - Use Caution Hello Alek, When you say you are running Ubuntu 14 via a Windows 10 PC, do you mean you are running the add-on windows subsystem for linux (known as WSL) that allows you run an Ubuntu shell on Windows 10? And then when you say you are remotely viewing things, does that mean you are remotely logging into that Windows machine? If you are in fact using WSL, then for X Window based GUI application like Freeview to run in WSL, you need to have an X server installed and running on the windows side, e.g., Xming. Then WSL can send X windows based graphics from the Linux shell back to Xming on the Windows side for rendering.. But Windows OS has to be able to handle rendering the graphics thru Xming using the drivers for whatever the graphics card/hardware is (which could include a GPU). If you look at this thread for the same error you posted, but on a pure linux desktop, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9769613/x-error-badalloc-glx-badcontext-on-intelsandybridge-intel-hd-graphics-3000, it reads to me like this may have been solved by updating the *mesa* libraries in linux which support displaying graphics (directly on the linux OS driving the graphics card). Translating this to the Windows WSL environment however - it would seem the same error could be from the graphics received by the X-server on the Windows side not being compatible/supported by the graphics drivers/hardware there. It might also have something to do with how the X-server is configured. I don’t have much experience with WSL, but I would think that in the Ubuntu linux shell you’d want to set display for the console, $ export DISPLAY=:0 Then it sounds like that /usr/bin/xeyes or other *simple* X programs already get displayed correctly, $ /usr/bin/xeyes Do you get the same error if you run a simple freeview command to open a single volume, e..g. $ freeview $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/bert/mri/brain.mgz I would try the above directly on the windows machine (not remotely logged in). - R.

Upon running freeview -v, the app opens but shows no discernible image (see screengrab below). Upon exiting the viewing platform the command line reads: X Error: GLXBadContext 150 Extension: 143 (Uknown extension) Minor opcode: 5 (Unknown request) Resource id: 0x8000c8I have found reference to this error in the archives at: https://www.mail-archive..com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg30865.html and much like with this original query, we are running freeview remotely via a high-performace-computing system, and when we type glxgears at the command line spinning gears do popup. Furthermore, (and although this does not relate directly to Freesurfer, it may provide additional useful information) upon trying to view the same T1.mgz file with FSLview rather than freeview we receive the message "missing header/image file" within the viewer but no error in the command line. We appreciate this may be a simple solution, however as it is our first time running FreeSurfer, it is difficult to know how to proceed. I have attached the recon-all report log for the subject attempting to be viewed in the screengrab below.<pastedImagebase640.png>Kind regards,Aleks Duvnjak<recon-all.log>_______________________________________________Freesurfer mailing listfreesur...@nmr.mgh.harvard.eduhttps://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
