Solved GTS 250 video driver OpenGL error

I use gnome as my windows system but recently discovered that the settings option wouldn't open and when I attempted to open it in a teminal got the following error:
Code:
(gnome-control-center:22748): firmware-security-cc-panel-WARNING **: 16:58:27.464: Cannot get org.freedesktop.hostname1.Chassis: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.hostname1 was not provided by any .service files
No provider of glGenSamplers found.  Requires one of:
    Desktop OpenGL 3.3
    GL_ARB_sampler_objects
    OpenGL ES 3.0
Abort (core dumped)
My video card is GeForce GTS 250
Code:
dmesg | grep -i nvidia
nvidia0: <GeForce GTS 250> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
My System:
Code:
 uname -a
FreeBSD Ruru 13.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p2 GENERIC amd64
I am using the latest packages and have the following relevant packages installed:
Code:
nvidia-driver-340-340.108_4    NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering
xf86-input-keyboard-1.9.0_5    X.Org keyboard input driver
xf86-input-libinput-1.3.0      X.Org libinput input driver
xf86-input-mouse-1.9.3_4       X.Org mouse input driver
xf86-video-nv-2.1.22           X.Org nv display driver
xf86-video-scfb-0.0.7_1        X.Org syscons display driver
xf86-video-vesa-2.5.0_2        X.Org vesa display driver
gnome-control-center-43.2_3    Control center for the GNOME desktop
xf86dga-1.0.3_1
It appears that the nvidia-driver-340 or my graphics card doesn't support OpenGL 3.3 any ideas how or whether I can get around this issue without updating my video card?
 
Is dbus running? The error seems to suggest it isn't.
Yes, I think that it has to do with the driver not fully supporting OpenGL in its ability to provide glGenSamplers
Code:
sudo service dbus start
bus already running?  (pid=1776).
