Could not Initialize GLX after Conda Update --All

Problem Description

I'm using Spyder on a remote server by SSH and X11 forwarding. After I use conda update --all , spyder stopped launching and has the error: Could not initialize GLX. I have tried adding these lines in start.py import ctypes ctypes.CDLL("libGL.so.1", mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL) from PyQt5 import QtWebEngineWidgets

and also

export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

but none of them works.

I also tried

conda install qt=5.6.2

to downgarde qt but then I encounter the segmentation fault.

What steps reproduce the problem?

  1. Create a new environment
  2. Install keras, keras gpu, tensorflow, tensorflow gpu, cudatoolkit and dependencies
  3. Conda update --all

Versions

About Spyder... or (if Spyder won't launch) the "conda list" command from the Anaconda Prompt/Terminal/command line. --->

I had this problem, spyder was not starting when using a ssh connection and I had the error : Could not initialize GLX. This was because the qt version was to recent : 5.9

I could not solve it by installing pyopengl, nor any other fixes that I found on the web. Simply installing qt 5.6.2 (with conda -c conda-forge) did not work either because it downgraded my version of matplotlib to 2.2

I got it working by reinstalling a full conda environment to make sure I have the matplotlib version that I wanted : 3.1.1

conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib=3.1 qt=5.6.2 spyder
