Goodmorning,
I have issues to run geodict remotely (using ssh -X connection to a linux server). The server is under CentOS Linux 8 and here is the error message I am getting:
"Unexpected critical error: GLWidget::makeCurrent(): Current context does not exist or is not valid!"
Geodict runs perfectly when I am executing it locally on the server.
Any guess from where the issue could come from ?
Thank you

Hello,
nice to have you here as a new user.I assume you start GeoDict from the command line?
Have you tried using the vglrun command in linux? This uses the VirtualGL https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VirtualGL (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VirtualGL) tool to enable to use a graphic card for rendering in GeoDict.
pathToGeoDict: vglrun geodict2023.sh
For this to work you first need to install the VirtualGL to your linux system.
Let me know if this can resolve the issue.

Thank you for your suggestion, using virtualGL actually solved the issue.
