libGL errors

Opened this issue ยท 2 comments

Thanks for this very useful piece of software ๐Ÿ‘

Running e.g., linux-chrome on FreeBSD 12.2 with a Nvidia GPU takes up to 100% CPU usage.

  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    C   TIME    WCPU COMMAND
 2611 user          9  40   10    41G   133M futex    0   0:52 105.42% CompositorTileW

Some other applications (e.g., the Olive 2 AppImage) fail to run entirely with the message

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

On the command line, Chrome floods the terminal with

[ERROR:gpu_channel.cc(449)] GpuChannel: Failed to create SharedImageStub
[ERROR:gpu_channel_manager.cc(746)] ContextResult::kFatalFailure: Failed to create shared context for virtualization.
[ERROR:shared_image_stub.cc(460)] SharedImageStub: unable to create context

repeated all the time.

I suspect something is wrong resulting in libGL being software rendered rather than hardware rendered. Can this be fixed?

Try to install the Nvidia Gl libraries under the chroot (replace VERSION (390, 418, 430, 435, 440) accordingly):

# chroot /compat/ubuntu /bin/bash -c "apt install -y libnvidia-gl-VERSION"

Unfortunately, I can't test it myself.

Thanks. With VERSION=440, installation succeeded but the result did not change.
100% CPU consumption while Chrome is open.
