Turn on debugging output and run simulation again

export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
./simulation

Check OpenGL information:

glxinfo | grep -i OpenGL

Driver information:

lspci | grep -i "vga compatible"

Faulty OpenGL version detection with software renderer

https://python.develop-bugs.com/article/10118323/paraview+needs+higher+OpenGL+in+Mesa When using llvmpipe/gallium with mesa, a software renderer, the OpenGL capabilities can be incorrectly detected. The simplest way to fix that is to force it :

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 ./bin/paraview

Simulation output:
