Known Issues

There is a known issue with the NanoGUI version that Nori uses: on Linux systems with an integrated Intel GPU, a bug in the Mesa graphics drivers causes the GUI to freeze on startup. A workaround is to temporarily switch to an older Mesa driver to run Nori. This can be done by running

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965
