I tried installing natron , a compositing software on rocky linux 9 from link. On same machine with ubuntu installed, natron has worked. So its not the machine. What am i missing here ?
Error:

I’d start searching based on the first error. I see a lot of results searching for No matchingfbConfigs or visuals found, most of which seem to do with Nvidia drivers. Do you happen to be using Nvidia?
Snap is installed by default on Ubuntu. They’ve decided to go that way, rather than say flatpak. It’s not unique to Ubuntu though, since it can be installed on pretty much any distro. That’s like saying Red Hat only uses flatpak, when it can be installed on other distros. I can even install flatpak on Ubuntu as well if I don’t want to use snap.
The link from the initial post shows installing EPEL and snap packages to install Natron. It doesn’t have to be an rpm, it’s the same as for say installing an app through flatpak. That also is not an rpm.
Incidently, the OP may want to open up the Software app in Rocky and search for Natron as it’s available in flatpak. So in this case, snap is not needed. Or at least ensure flatpak is installed before searching in Software app.
If the error persists, then @brian has already suggested searching for the error that seems to hint at an Nvidia card issue if that is being used. I expect the people who created Natron might be able to explain and help with that error though - best to ask on their forums.
