Comment 9 for bug 1754084

hi Jens, hi all,
thanks a lot for answering. In my case I had a fresh install of Xubuntu
18.04, so there was no old .config there.

First I installes Xubuntu and after next step I downloaded freecad-0.17
and installed it via dpkg -i.

But I got these known error as described.

Now I have found another "script" like this here :
LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=true ./FreeCAD-13522.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage

and it does the trick. Now it runs.
So far, I cannot find any problems due to the disabled LIBGL_DR3.
Maybe in further using freecad some behavior may appear.

Bye hans
