Psychopy stack smashing detected

I am trying to execute the following basic psychopy (version 2021.2.3) code through the Python 3.6.13 console:

import psychopy.visual as pv
pv.Window()

Which gives the following error.

*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

The only related topic I can find is on the psychopy forum with no answers

I'm running this on an Ubuntu 18.04.05 machine. The machine is initialized as a headless server, but I am trying to run this through RDP.

I installed psychopy using pip inside a conda environment. Initially I was getting errors related to wxPython. When I manually installed wxPython from a whl file that error was resolved and error in this question appeared.

I had a very similar problem on ubuntu 18.04.5, psychopy 3.2.4, no headless server. I suspect that the problem is general but ubuntu/drivers related.
My solution was to update the system and to install&switch to a proprietary NVIDIA driver.

My guess is that this is to do with the version of one of the libraries but very hard to tell from this limited info.

What version of PsychoPy are you trying to install and by what means are you installing it? Are you running from the app or is this a script you're trying to launch from the terminal? ie. trying to work out what parts of PsychoPy this is affecting (the app, the visual lib, the gui libs...?)
