I am setting up a somewhat but not super old laptop (4ish years) and am having an issue with OpenGL. WHen launching programs that use modern OpenGL like Kitty, I get errors such as the following:
[0.093] [glfw error 65542]: GLX: No GLXFBConfigs returned
[0.093] [glfw error 65545]: GLX: Failed to find a suitable GLXFBConfig
[0.093] Failed to create GLFW temp window! This usually happens because of old/broken OpenGL drivers. kitty requires working OpenGL 3.3 drivers.
I've tried installing literally every mesa package I can (no kidding, sudo apt install *mesa* I was desperate). I've tried setting both of the mesa version override environment variables, same error. I'm on Linux kernel version 6.8.0-35-generic.
Here is the output of glxinfo -B:
