I'm running a Ubuntu 16.04.1 (VM) and when using X11 forwarding I'm receiving the following error when launching google chrome (Note: Google chrome eventually launches, but I still would like to fix this error):

[4244:4244:1221/093216:ERROR:gl_surface_glx.cc(411)] GLX 1.3 or later is required.

[4244:4244:1221/093216:ERROR:gl_initializer_x11.cc(130)] GLSurfaceGLX::InitializeOneOff failed.

[4244:4244:1221/093216:ERROR:gpu_child_thread.cc(328)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization

I've tried installing the latest mesa packages offered by this ppa, but still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

sudo apt-get update

GLX is still reporting at version 1.2

I'm not super familiar with the mesa libraries and how they work, but i'm running the latest as far as I can tell:

cj@ubuntu:/lib/modules$ dpkg -l | grep mesa

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

With sudo apt-get update you are not actually installing anything. After that you might want to run sudo apt-get upgrade to actually update the packages that the PPA has different versions for.
