I've just googled and I've found my video baord can support up to OpenGL 3.3. So I suppose the libGL in the Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS has the 3.3 support, so the board. Maybe the message referring to shaders is for another issue. But I had the same even in Kicad 4 shipped with Ubuntu 16.04 PPC and even with Kicad 6 compiled from sources. Anyway Kicad 5 & 6 are working very good now.
If you need more information please let me know. Kindest regards, Gianluca On Mon, Feb 18, 2019 at 10:54 AM Gianluca Renzi <icj...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, it is working good.
