I have the following hardware configuration -

Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller

According to NVIDIA's website (http://www.nvidia.in/object/product-geforce-gt-525m-in.html), my system supports OpenGL 4.4 but when I try to run some code from https://github.com/tomdalling/opengl-series, I get the following error -

Unable to create OpenGL context

ERROR: glfwOpenWindow failed. Can your hardware handle OpenGL 3.2?

Please help.

P.S: I am a newbie

Try to install the latest driver for your video card:

Open a Terminal with Ctrl+Alt+t and type:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Then restart your system to see if proprietary drivers helped to get OpenGL 3.2 support.

You can see the supported version using the nvidia-settings utility:
