On my H800 server running Ubuntu 22.04, I have installed Webots 2023b with NVIDIA driver version 560.35.03. When I connect to the server via SSH, Webots can be launched, and the OpenGL driver is NVIDIA, but the performance is quite slow. I tried to launch Webots directly on the server's main machine, but clicking the icon does not respond. When I start it from the command line, I encounter the following error:

FATAL: Webots could not initialize the rendering system.
Please check your GPU abilities and install the latest graphics drivers.
Please do also check that your graphics hardware meets the requirements specified in the User Guide.

I would like to be able to launch Webots on the H800 host without encountering the rendering system initialization error.

Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04
Server Model: H800
Webots Version: 2023b
NVIDIA Driver Version: 560.35.03
OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 560.35.03

I have confirmed that a complete graphical desktop environment is installed.
The NVIDIA driver and GPU status are normal (can be checked with nvidia-smi).
OpenGL support is normal (can be checked with glxinfo).

@Zywer04 Generally, you cannot run an OpenGL app over SSH. The hardware acceleration will not work.

I tried to launch Webots directly on the server's main machine, but clicking the icon does not respond.

Can you run Webots by running the webots command? It should give more details about the failure.
