Thanks  in advance and I hope the text below and attached files have the information needed to help.

I am upgrading a working system from axis to Probe-Basic.
By "upgrading" I did the following:
Made backups of config and .nc files
Partitioned / Formatted HD
Used Probe-basic Quick-start to load Linuxcnc 2.8.1 and Probe-basic

Sim loads fine but on selecting a g-code file to load or when posting a conversational setup to simulate Probe-basic crashes.
I think it is related to the Opengl error in linuxcnc.report file.
    "ERROR: In /work/standalone-x64-build/VTK-source/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkShaderProgram.cxx, line 431
vtkShaderProgram (0x55de6fe8ef60): "

But at this point I do not know how to test the opengl compatibility or if there is another problem.
Geforce 6600 LE graphics card.

I tested Axis with my backed up configs and the cnc system works as before with Linuxcnc 2.8.2
I also installed the Nvidia driver.....YEP won't do that again!  

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
James

kernel-vers -v: #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.194-2 (2021-06-21)

-  What version of Linuxcnc is installed?
2.8.2-11-g6a3d0a434

-  What version of QtPyVCP and Probe Basic is installed?
QtPyVCP Version: v0.3.19+15.g3ad0cc9c (opt_parser.py:199)

-  How did you install Probe Basic? Quickstart guide? Dev Guide?
Quickstart

-  Have you gone through your ini and hal files and compared to the sim config files to make any changes needed?
Sim fails in same manor as non-sim config

-  Have you added all of the necessary files in your config folder that probe basic needs to run?
Yes

-  Have you tested the sim version to see if the problem exists there also? (if the sim functions properly, it is a good indicator your issue is in your config)
Sim has same problem.  Probe-Basic screen loads and crashes when you load or conversational g-code is loaded.

Nicely done, thank you.
Is this a RPI?
The error mentions VTK, that is Vulkan, not OpenGL, hence the above question.
To do a quick test of OpenGL, opena terminal and type: glxgears

Thanks for the help!  On a Saturday no less.
Not an RPI... If you mean Raspberry Pi.  Re-cycled desktop system.  Sorry if that shows some ignorance but that is what the acronym designated gray matter came up with this time.

RGB Gears turn at ~60 fps.  Looks good.

Had a look again, it does tell exactly what the issue is.
Does the PC have an add on graphic card? If yes, pull it out and try without it.
If not, try to find a used older graphic card.

** Solved! **
Thanks again! I fell victim to the "what am I doing wrong" rut. Went to the desktop graveyard and liberated a ATI Radeon R5450 graphics card. Plug and play.
The image had some signal ringing with the VGA cable but once I changed it out for a HDMI cable, image and text looks great.
Thanks for kicking me out of the rut, and pointing me in the right direction.
Best Regards, James
