Harmless but constant error warning #32

Closed ss32 closed 4 years ago

ss32 commented 4 years ago

Ubuntu 18 Cinnamon Desktop NVIDIA 440.59

When I run in the normal mode I see this printed more often than the main loop runs, still trying to track down the source

libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

Yeah this isn't a problem with the script itself, but I have seen that happen before on Ubuntu. I'll let you know if I find anything

It's an issue with the mesa EGL library sticking around after NVIDIA installs its own version. Easy fix, just rename the mesa library so it can't be found.
