Troubleshooting:

Problem 1) STROBE LENGTH


Evidence)
I was running 
./ITS3start.py ITS3-test.ini

We got the following error, that prevented from configuring the 6 alpides:
(ERROR)[Producer.ALPIDE_plane_0 ]DoConfigure: 'STROBE_LENGTH'
(ERROR)[Producer.ALPIDE_plane_1 ]DoConfigure: 'STROBE_LENGTH'

Solution)
We had to add a STROBE_LENGTH entry in the ITS3-test.conf

[Producer.ALPIDE_plane_0]
EUDAQ_DC      = dc
EUDAQ_ID      = 0
ITHR          = 60
VCASN         = 112
VCASN2        = 124
VCLIP         = 60
STROBE_LENGTH = 400
DAQ           = DAQ-000909250959071E

Problem 2) No matching fbConfigs or visuals found

When running the 
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
