[AWIPS #CBR-963818]: Issue with IR/VIS Sandwich GOES Imagery Loading

Hmmm, okay let's see if we can figure some of this out. First, based off of 
your glxinfo it looks like you aren't accessing your NVIDIA graphics driver, 
but your nouveau driver instead. You will need to blacklist nouveau so your 
computer will look at NVIDIA. If you need help with this I can google around 
and find some instructions - I've had to do this at a previous job before to 
get AWIPS to access the correct graphics driver.

Additionally, the METARs and winds seem like a python issue. Have you had any 
issues displaying these before this recent upgrade of CAVE? What happens if you 
type "which python"? It should resolve to /awips2/python/bin/python.

Are you accessing CAVE on your Centos7 machine remotely in any way (ssh, su -, 
etc.)? 

Thanks,
