I'm not sure whether this is the same issue, but we were observing an issue with GUI menu painting on Windows 10 (probably Xming), but not MacOS (XQuartz) nor Linux.
Roughly, when one clicks on a menu ('File' or whatever), the menu pane is drawn, but it's not "active". That is, it's not possible to choose an item on the menu and have it run. Then, if one chooses another menu, the first is not erased. So, by playing with the top menu bar, one will soon have a whole collection of non-functional menu panes littered across the screen.
As a guess, this seems to be a subtle difference or bug in the Xming implementation. I was hoping that upgrading to wxPython 4.0.0 would fix the issue, but have not had a chance to try it.
For what it's worth, it's possible to run Ubuntu inside of a VirtualBox instance on Windows 10. This works fine.

Hi Paul, I was unable to connect using Putty, but I'll try that again (as far as I can see most ssh connections from Windows use Putty, including MobaXterm).
The issue is that we cannot read the menu items, they are not displaying correctly. The FSL gui is fine, and the command line tools appear to be working correctly.

Hi Aidan,
Those error messages are nothing to worry about.
I have had no experience with MobaXterm - are you able to connect to the server in any other way, just for testing? e.g. ssh from a local linux/mac machine?
Cheers,
Paul

Hi, we (a student and I, independently) are trying to install FSLeyes on Centos 7 and get the following error,
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
(fsleyes:7344): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-x11.c:952 drawable is not a pixmap or window
An X11 window opens but the text is unreadable (non-alphanumeric characters). We have SSH connections to the Nectar research cloud using MobaXterm.
I installed FSLeyes v 0.21.0 using the latest pip (and also without pip) and the latest wxPython. We have also installed freeglut SDL as per instructions here, https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/FSLeyes
A quick Google search has not turned up a useful solution, but I am far from a Linux expert.
