I have never seen the GLUT error either. My guess is its an unsupported feature on Wayland graphics if you are using the default desktop. But its never been an issue for me.
On the logon screen, at the bottom right, you can select a different graphical environment if you installed one on installation.
If not, install xfce by typing: sudo tasksel and select it from the logon screen (you might need to sudo apt-get install taskselfirst)
This gives you the same environment on the linuxcnc ISO and uses Xwindows. You may need to select it from the logon screen.
(Tasksel might take a while... and I have no idea if this is a bum steer or not...)

Hmm, I upgraded my bookworm pc with
And I experienced the exact same behavoiur in the default graphical environment!
So I followed my own advice and installed xfce with tasksel and everything is perfect.
Just note you need to have your cursor in the password field and you will see a cog appear at bottom right, click on that to select xfce before logging in.
First time I've not been able to run linuxcnc on the default Wayland Debian graphical environment.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get ugrade

Installing and changing to xfce now allows LinuxCNC to load, however in Gmocapy and GScreen, the graphics (machine plots) are just blank.
Axis loads OK with no errors.
A scan of the terminal output, it seems like there's still something missing, or something not the correct version.
I've attached the terminal outputs (I did try pasting them in as code, but I get a too many links error when trying to post with the output in the forum post).
If nobody has any more suggestions, I'm thinking I might do a clean install, but stick to Bullseye.
