When I try to run Blender it gives me this error:

Error! Unsupported graphics card or driver.
A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required.
The program will now close.

I've read many answers related to this error but the solutions were for different situations than mine. On my computer I have a Radeon R9 290 Tri-x but I'm using VirtualBox with Ubuntu 20.04 so the graphic card I see is 'VMware SVGA II Adapter'. I can run blender with this command 'LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./blender' but it's very slow. So i'm asking, how can i run blender normally? Thanks

  • $\begingroup$ I think you haven't found a suitable answer yet, because the answer may not be universally applicable. Too many individual parameters play a role here and there are probably a multitude of possibilities. Anyway, from experience I can only advise against even trying to run Blender in a VM unless you want to use it headless (command line). The main problem is simply that no suitable graphics card drivers are usable in a VirtualBox VM. $\endgroup$
