A similar error occurs when one attempts to run evolution on a remote X Desktop. It seems there is a dependency on direct rendering which is not available in either the VNC or remote X windows environments.
Recreate with: # ssh -X servername [where the server is running Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop] # evolution libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate (evolution:25704): Gdk-ERROR **: 06:48:35.588: The program 'evolution' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 207 error_code 1 request_code 153 (DRI2) minor_code 1) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
