glxspheres not found. How to install? [closed]

By John Peck

I installed kubuntu 13.10 beta 1 yesterday. Today, I installed bumblebee and I was tried to check my fps on video card. When I ran glxspheres an error command not found appeared. How can I install glxspheres?

I tried sudo apt-get install virtualgl but the package was not found.

  1. Download VirtualGL (.deb) from:
  2. Navigate to the folder containing the deb package and install it with:

    sudo dpkg -i VirtualGL_*.deb

  3. Run glxspheres:

    cd /opt/VirtualGL/bin/

    ./glxspheres

    OR

    /opt/VirtualGL/bin/glxspheres

In 13.04 and older it is provided by mesa-utils package:

$ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

Also in older releases virtualgl is not in the default repositories. If this is still the case you can use Bumblebee PPA to get it.
