Failed to start Flutter renderer: Unable to create a GL context

[xypron]

Describe the bug multipass.gui shows an empty window

To Reproduce In the console I entered the multipass.gui command and see this console output:

$ multipass.gui
Gtk-Message: 10:23:43.088: Not loading module "atk-bridge": The functionality is provided by GTK natively. Please try to not load it.

A new window with title 'Muiltipass' is opened. It only displays a white plane.

No message is written to ~/snap/multipass/current/data/multipass_gui/multipass_gui.log.

glxgears just runs fine. So OpenGL is available on the system.

Expected behavior

I expected a functional interface.

The problem is reproducible with

multipass   1.15.0-dev.411+gbf3719d1e
multipassd  1.15.0-dev.411+gbf3719d1e

Only difference: A text 'Unable to create a GL context' is written in the pop-up window.

Hey, @xypron! Are you perhaps on X11 and not on Wayland? It seems there are some issues with 24.10 not working properly on X11, for example https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/ubuntu-24-10-security-center-unable-to-create-gl-context/43431.

I am also on KDE with X11, but on 24.04, and I do not encounter this issue, but I will try to reproduce it on 24.10. If the issue is indeed caused by something being broken in 24.10, then unfortunately I think we can only wait for that to be fixed, but I'll keep an eye on it.
