Black Background Issue on Geant4 Interface Page

Hi there,
When I initially installed Geant4, the interface was working properly. However, after that, I have noticed a black background on the Geant interface page. When I run the simulation, I can see the particle tracks, but not the volumes and the boxes. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Hasan

Please let us know your Geant4 version, your operating system (Linux/Windows/Mac) and platform (your actual computer). (I think this information is requested when you post a query.)

There are several things that could go wrong when it comes to graphics. Do you have the latest version of your graphics driver? Are you using X-windows remotely? Etc.

Get back to us and we might be able to help.

Hello John,
I’m working with G4 version 11.2.1, using Oracle VM on Ubuntu. My computer is a Dell running Windows 11.
Thank you!

Hi Hasan

Have a look at Problem with visual window.

If this does not help, I can only assume it is something to do with Oracle VM. Can you try another VM? Or get access to a pure Linux machine?

Let us know if this helps you fix it for you.

Hi @HasanGhotme

an alternative to Oracle VM is the Windows Linux subsystem, which can be installed from the windows app store :slight_smile:
