I have installed TmoleX on my machine running Ubuntu 64-bit 14.04. There were no issues during installation, but I am unable to visualize any molecules in the TmoleX visualization window. I have tried the following, but nothing appears in the window:
1) File->Open/Import Molecule
2) Adding individual atoms from the Draw Tool
Thank you for any help you can provide.

This turned out to be a problem with my nvidia drivers and linux environment. I solved it by updating to the latest nvidia drivers, updating bumblebee (a Debian package), and then running TmoleX with my GPU. My machine is a Thinkpad T520.

Hi
I have the same problem.
Running arch linux with 4.5.1 kernel. Java environments:
Available Java environments:
java-7-openjdk/jre
java-8-openjdk/jre (default)
I tried with both versions. System is up to date. Running with intel gpu (i5 haswell).
Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi,
open a shell (terminal) and enter:
export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
then go to the installation directory and start TmoleX, e.g.:
cd ~/COSMOlogic/TmoleX15/TmoleX
./TmoleX15
if you can see the molecules, add the two lines (export ...) to the TmoleX15 script. If you open it in an editor, it starts with:
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following line to override the JVM search sequence
# INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=
# Uncomment the following line to add additional VM parameters
# INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS=
INSTALL4J_JAVA_PREFIX=""
GREP_OPTIONS=""
change that to
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following line to override the JVM search sequence
# INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=
# Uncomment the following line to add additional VM parameters
# INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS=
export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
INSTALL4J_JAVA_PREFIX=""
GREP_OPTIONS=""
Then you should be able to start TmoleX15 directly using the icon on the desktop.
Regards,
Uwe
