      optirun glxgears works fine, I am intensively using VMD software with Nvidia. primusrun also runs well.

      I add --logconsole flag in the start script.

      Can this information help?

        It warns about libpng version. I think, that can be the reason. Which version of libpng is required?

          Actually, you should not worry about the following libpng warning:

          libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

          The libpng warning might be caused by libpng provided with your Python installation. To check whether this causes the problem, you could try commenting the addition of a path to Python libraries in the SAMSON-Core.sh script:

          #export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PYTHON_LIBRARY_PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

          I do not think that it is due to libpng, rather it might be a problem of a driver and OpenGL layer provided by Bumblebee.

            It is really strange, that even if I tried to run it with optirun or primusrun in about dialog it showing, that I still using Intel HD card.

            I think there is some hidden restart of application GUI inside some python stuff, so really it does not use Nvidia card at all.

              Do you have the Nouveau driver blacklisted or uninstalled? Because it causes some issues on Nvidia Optimus GPUs.

              Yes.

              dia@lenovo:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-blacklists-nouveau.conf
# You need to run "update-initramfs -u" after editing this file.

# see #580894

                Python is not used by SAMSON, Python is present in the launching script just to add a path to its libraries so that users could use the Python Scripting Element. So you can safely comment the Python-related block in the launching script if you are not using the Python Scripting Element.

                The information you see in the About dialogue (or in Preferences > Installation > General) shows all the graphics cards, meaning that it can show both CPU and GPU. But in your case, the SAMSON installer could not find your Nvidia GPU.

                Personally, I used SAMSON before on a laptop with Linux (Ubuntu) equipped with Nvidia GeForge GTX 670MX GPU (which has Optimus technology) but without Bumblebee/optirun installed. So the problem seems to be either in SAMSON not being able to properly detect GPU or lack of some drivers.

                How did you install SAMSON? With optirun or without? Does it give you the same behavior in both cases?

                  Have you tried to install SAMSON with primusrun and then launching SAMSON with it?

                  If there is a configuration file for optirun/primusrun which allows specifying which apps should use GPU you may try specifying GPU for SAMSON.

                  Is it possible for you to try with nvidia-prime? It should provide better OpenGL support compared to optirun since optirun has an additional layer VirtualGL which might be causing this issue.

                    I tried, and that did not help.

                    There is no such a file :( It is controlled by the prefix in the command line when I calling the app.

                    Is it possible for you to try with nvidia-prime? It should provide better OpenGL support compared to optirun since optirun has an additional layer VirtualGL which might be causing this issue.

                    I have no such a command nvidia-prime... If I understand correct, primusrun have no such an extra layer.

                      Apparently, SAMSON might be having a problem properly detecting your GPU during the installation, even with primusrun.

                      Nvidia PRIME does not go with Bumblebee/optirun/primusrun, it is an Nvidia technology and it also allows one to switch between CPU and Nvidia GPU without additional layers giving a direct OpenGL access, which is more preferable. It is done via GPU offloading. But it comes with a downside: for a switch between CPU and GPU to take an effect one needs to log out and log in back (OS needs to do some re-initializations).

                      You can check whether you have Nvidia PRIME or not in the Nvidia X Server Settings. Nvidia PRIME is either installed together with an nvidia proprietary driver or you can install it via (after installing nvidia proprietary drivers):

                      sudo apt install nvidia-prime

                      Note: To use Nvidia PRIME you might need to remove Bumblebee/optirun/primusrun.

                      Note: In case, if you are using Nvidia PRIME, SAMSON should be installed with an active Nvidia GPU and to use SAMSON it would be necessary to enable to Nvidia GPU.

                      Personally, on my laptop with Ubuntu 16.04 and equipped with Nvidia GeForce GTX 670MX I have the nvidia-384 driver installed with Nvidia PRIME. I had Bumblebee installed many years ago, but I could not make it work with CUDA.

                        I installed Linux Mint 19.1 and installed nvidia-driver-390. Now interface has no such troubles. Thank you for advices.

                            Great! I am glad that you solved the issue! Apparently, it was a problem with drivers. Do you use primusrun/optirun or just nvidia GPU directly?

                              Yes, sorry, it can consume quite a lot sometimes. For me, for example, just the interface consumes sometimes 30-50% of one CPU core. To decrease the CPU consumption, you can hide the Document view (Ctrl/Cmd+1) or the Inspector (Ctrl/Cmd+I) when you do not need them. There is an issue with them which causes such consumption. It will be fixed in the next version of SAMSON.

                                @dmitriymarin Now I am using Nvidia PRIME like you showed in screenshot above. I do not think, that it is driver issue, but it is how you utilize them. I am also developing some software with OpenGL, however by using lower version API (1.2). So it works both Intel and Nvidia cards. I think, that advanced functions like in OpenGL 3.2 should be used using procedure addresses like it is doing with SDL_GL_GetProcAddress.

                                  Will wait :) SAMSON has very cute interface, however such cost of one core for that it is not acceptable!

                                    Dear @Ivan ,
                                    Thanks to issues raised on the forum, we have fixed the issue in SAMSON causing problems with the viewport when using Intel integrated graphics processor. This issue might have been causing the problem you have posted in this thread. The new installation of SAMSON should resolve the issue.

                                    Dmitriy,
