Error message: Unable to start the Mechanical editor in ANSYS WorkBench

      Hello,
        when openning the Mechanical Modeller, we run into the above error message and it fails to start.
       
      platform:  CentOS 7.9.2,   AnsysFLST version 22.2            command to start:  runwb2
       
      Steps to produce the error:  Open Workbench ==> Make a stead-state thermal project ==> double click on geometry ==>
      Make a simple geometry in design modeler (e.g. a simple cube), then in Workbench double click on Model.
       
      (Any other workflow that result in opening the Mechanical modeler would result in the error)
       
      # After selecting Steady State Thermal and double clicking on Geometry, a little error window pops up:
      WB Error while loading the DocingPane.
      Then the "Steady-State Thermal - DesignModeler window shows up.
       
      The following are the exception trace shown on the terminal. If you need more information, please let me know.

      Hello

      Please check if a dedicated graphics card and recent driver from the manufacturer installed on this system. Or are you using remote display?

        Hello, we're currently running into the same error message, with remote display. Any guidance on how to proceed would be helpful. 

        thanks
