ssh - Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
I am trying to run an indirect GLX program through X11 forwarded ssh. Where the graphics are rendered on the X server side. The ssh server is running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (will refer to as ubuntu), and ssh client Arch Linux (will refer to as arch).
I start the Xserver on arch with xinit xfce4-session -- +iglx, and connect to ubuntu with ssh connor@server -Xp 23, I then run export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 then proceed to start glx clients. Below I tried running some glx programs:
connor@server:~$ glxinfo
name of display: localhost:10.0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
connor@server:~$ glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
These are the graphics devices for arch:
[connor@archlinux ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204M [GeForce GTX 970M] (rev a1)
In the SSH session the graphical devices are as follows:
connor@server:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)
Ubuntu seems to be suggessful on X connections, such as running xterm or xeyes, its sshd config contains:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
I have tried to run the X server with -listen tcp also allowiing remore with xhost +. On ubuntu, instead set DISPLAY=arch:0.0. But still no success with the exact same results. Strangely, connecting through the windows port of Xorg; VcXsrv, I am able to connect with putty with what I assume to be indirect rendering, as frame-rates are reaching levels of 60fps on full 1920p display on the same hardware and connection (comparable to my previous results of 5fps at low-res).
I ask for potential solutions and help, my frustration has developed over a week after trying everything I can think of with the same results. My last resort is installing Arch linux on the Ubuntu server, as it may be some comparability issue of sorts.
