    Hello everyone, I recently have been trying to use a simulation software called ARGoS (https://www.argos-sim.info/index.php) which uses QtCreator for its visuals, but whenever I try to run an example simulation, the system returns an error. The details are below.

    I am using an ssh key to log into the cloud server, and the OS is Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

    When I tried to run the ARGoS example simulation, I encountered the following error:
    Error 1.png
    Which I resolved with $ export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen

    I was then immediately hit with the following error, which I have not yet found a solution for:
    Error 2.png
    where the qt.qpa.backingstore: composeAndFlush: makeCurrent() failed line repeats infinitely

    I'm not sure which details I need to provide, but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me as I try and figure this thing out! Thank you in advance
