[BUG] When using Nvidia drivers, most Flatpaks do not run

[Monniasza]

I can't run most apps from Flatpak, including Cura, Minetest, The Powder Toy. PrusaSlicer runs, but there's no content in the window. I'm specifically using GeForce 1050 Mobile with nvidia-driver-535 version 535-161.07-5ubuntu0.22.04.1. The issue occurs even if I explicitly allow DRI access. Here's a example log:

ibEGL warning: DRI3: Screen seems not DRI3 capable
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
libEGL warning: DRI3: Screen seems not DRI3 capable

(endeavour:2): Gdk-WARNING **: 19:20:16.134: The program 'endeavour' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 1154 error_code 8 request_code 149 (unknown) minor_code 4)
  (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.)

Just to be sure, the Flatpak drivers match the ones on the host, right? You can check that with:

$ cat /sys/module/nvidia/version
$ flatpak info "org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-$(cat /sys/module/nvidia/version | tr '.' '-')"

The first command will display the driver version on the host, and the second one will check if the appropriate Flatpak package for the driver is installed.

Both commands should not fail.

[Monniasza]

The second command fails, but the first one runs okay.

535.161.07
błąd: Nie zainstalowano org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-161-07/*unspecified*/*unspecified*

[guihkx]

That means the appropriate Flatpak package for that driver version is missing.

If you run flatpak update, the driver package should be picked up for installation automatically, and after that you should have no issues anymore.

Oh, that driver version isn't present on Flathub yet, sorry.

I'll open a pull request to add it.

After the PR gets merged, it will still take a few hours before it's available for you, however.

I think I have the same proplem, my driver versions isn't present on Flathub.

cat /sys/module/nvidia/version 
535.161.08

flatpak remote-ls | grep -i nvidia-535-161
nvidia-535-161-07   org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-161-07       1.4 x86_64

[guihkx]

@rocketguedes I've opened a pull request to add that version here: #247

[Monniasza]

Again, this bug occurs after updating Nvidia drivers again.

Again, this bug occurs after updating Nvidia drivers again.

This is technically not a "bug": It's just a matter of adding the missing driver version here, as per what the README says.

With what driver version are you having issues?

It has been already updated
