EGL issue causing crashes

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
1

For the last few weeks, there’s been a problem I have no idea how to properly diagnose, but from what fiddling I’ve done, might be something to do with EGL and/or Mesa. This has been resulting in things such as:

  • FireDragon crashes if it ever tries to play video (Chromium-based browsers such as Vivaldi seem to be fine)
  • Kmail fails to render mail at all, showing only a white rectangle instead (both in preview and popped out into their own window)
  • OBS game capture causes programs to fail to start and hang indefinitely with the error libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen (but only for some programs?)
  • inxi hangs indefinitely as soon as it reaches Graphics
  • eglinfo hangs indefinitely when it starts trying to pull information on Mesa OpenGL

Things that hang indefinitely will generally run fine as root, provided they run as root at all (for instance, BizHawk will refuse to run as root). Thus, the following output of garuda-inxi is run under sudo, as that’s the only way it’ll get through.

I have Similar problems with my system Should I make Five different post. asking so I dont get banned.

All of the problems I’m experiencing, I suspect to have a common root, which is why they’re all posted to the same thread. It doesn’t make sense to post multiple threads when one solution could fix all of them.

update: Firedragon appears to be fine now, at least. All of the other problems listed still persist.

Hi ,

I see some issues on your System but the most thing looks like a Nvidia driver issue.

  • OBS game capture causes programs to fail to start and hang indefinitely with the error libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen (but only for some programs?)
  • inxi hangs indefinitely as soon as it reaches Graphics

i have here wayland instead of unspecified.

Device-1: NVIDIA GA106 

  Relevant software:       snapper NetworkManager dracut **nvidia-dkms**

For your system you need the open-dkms drivers.

Open the Terminal and copy and paste this commands for installing it.

sudo pacman -Rdd garuda-nvidia-config nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia libxnvctrl lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia gwe python-py3nvml

no reboot and install

sudo pacman -S nvidia-open-dkms egl-wayland lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia nvidia-settings opencl-nvidia nvidia-utils

if its asking for dependencies say yes (y Y)

then you can reboot and test again your OBS .

For this issue you can check the plasma-renderer settings are on Automatic if the nvidia driver install didnt help.(App-Launcher search Plasma Renderer

Kmail fails to render mail at all, showing only a white rectangle instead (both in preview and popped out into their own window)

Did you have ClamAV installed and it isnt configured correctly?

If you dont need it you can remove it or reinstall it. I have it installed but not this errror message!

sudo pacman -Rdd clamav

maybe you should update your Bios:

 UEFI: American Megatrends v: 3212 date: 05/24/2024

Otherwise did you dry a X11 Session to see the same behavior? ( You need to install it manually look here in the Forum for it if needed)

Otherwise i would try a other kernel if cachyos makes issues :wink:

sudo pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers

I have now switched to the open source drivers as you instructed. Unfortunately, this has not fixed the problem, but it hasn’t made anything worse, and I’ve kind of wanted to switch to the open drivers anyway but wasn’t sure how. Plasma Renderer settings are set to automatic.

It might need some fixing, but I don’t think this applies to this problem. I was talking to someone on Mastodon as well, and eventually I got my system to a place where Kmail was rendering mail properly, but none of the other problems were resolved.

I have done so at this point. No change to anything.

The Zen kernel exhibits the same issues as well.

I just have tried to open an X11 session. I’m pretty sure I’ve installed the packages correctly to get the X11 session set up, but it just punts me back out to the login screen when I try to access it.

7

Nice you try it this ways to get errors out. Can you post your inxi after a reboot again please?

wired my one is working but i did a new user account for all my DE`s . Other thing is why you dont asked earlier or i didnt see it however , i have many snapshots and can go back a month to find a working one for my issues. Maybe you have one to who is working i dont know. I read few weeks a obs issue too. I have no eglinfo issue and it run. i do a look later i have to go.

8

It make sense → reasons

  • issue with nvidia driver (egl + obs warnings) → not solved
  • issue with firedragon = current now solved
  • issue with apps and sudo rights → not solved
  • issue with clamav service → not solved

All packages (beginning with “nvidia-xxxxx”) are closed source / proprietary drivers.
(nvidia-prime not)
The open source driver for nvidia = nouveau and that’s a core kernel modul.

Pls post your current garuda-inxi + pacman -Qs nvidia

NVIDIA driver and issue with apps, I suspect to be directly related. FireDragon, I thought to be related, but it wasn’t. I never asked for help with ClamAV, so I’m not sure how that got conflated into this. Also, by “open source driver”, I meant nvidia-open*.

Anyway, garuda-inxi still does not complete as normal user, so here’s that as root, as well as pacman -Qs nvidia.

Take a look in your Xorg.0.log file ( /var/log)
If you read suspect errors pls post the log over privatebin.

The output from : echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE = ? (about your garuda-inxi = xwayland)

You have disabled your igpu, then you don´t need nvidia-prime. (my mind)

There are no errors in the Xorg log. Display: unspecified may be as a result of running garuda-inxi as root. Running it as user gets up to CPU, then never outputs Graphics data or anything past that, and hangs indefinitely until I ^C out of it.

XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

It came with Garuda and I never bothered to touch it. I’ve removed it, and no change.

12

:+1:

Yes, right. (never tested before)

Questions:
Have you tested your system with a new user acc ?
You work with /etc/rc.local file over systemd ?

13

The person I was talking to on Masto did suggest creating a new account. The same problems occur on that account as do on my main account.

I do not have an /etc/rc.local file.

14

That`s good.

Your journal give also no result about these issues ?

15

Here is journal output for me trying to open Azahar (3DS emulator), open a ROM, it locks up, and I force close it. journal azahar - Pastebin Service

Also worth noting, there is no journal output whatsoever for running obs-gamecapture, garuda-inxi, or eglinfo.

16

That’s a group/user issue perhaps also a /usr/share/polkit-1/actions problem + install issue (my mind)
pls open for this a new topic

Hi,

sorry for my late reply.

Im not a pro btw but why ClamAV is meant by me is because its a tricky configuration. I did it years ago wrong and had issues on the systems because it was blocking vars permissions. I didnt set up an extra user account for it with the right config. Its just a hint also their its faulty even from the inxi. We dont know what you did and help in our free time if we can.

Yes true i tested on my System. Thx new for me too.

For the OBS

Can you check if you have this installed for Wayland Session

sudo pacman -S egl-wayland

or did you try to run OBS with this command

obs --disable-egl

otherwise try to reinstall this packages

sudo pacman -S vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader

there is some more for testing but thats a other thing i dont know if its maybe a OBS issue itself. How you use it just for recording or streaming.

For the inxi maybe you can try to reset fish in the Rani Application-> Modules → System maintenance → Reset configs to default state → Fish .

this also can be a issue like gampel said.

otherwise try the full remote fix if its helps.

garuda-update remote fullfix

or in Rani -Modules- System maintenance - garuda update recue tool.

18

To be clear, it’s OBS game capture causing the issue. OBS itself is fine, and when game capture works, it’s also fine. However, at least in the case of trying to capture Bizhawk output, it causes the emulator to hang indefinitely on start.

I have now run this, and the same problems continue to persist. Necessarily, this means the packages you suggested to reinstall (which were all there before) have been reinstalled as well.

I think I’m about to call this a wash. If the problem is an NVIDIA problem, I have a comparable AMD card that is being provided to me coming in soon. If it’s a configuration problem, it’s beyond me, and it might just be necessary to reinstall the system. I’m undecided if it’s going to be Garuda, stock Arch, or something else. (Not Windows, for as long as I can help it.) I was mainly trying to avoid having to reinstall, as I just did so a couple of months ago.

19

only for info:
Open konsole: command cat /etc/group
Group render : you stay there (username) or group video the same ?
If not : usermod -aG render (username)

hi,

i understand you in this way. I cant say much about NVIDIA because i have a full AMD system. For my Games i use other Applications for Gaming not Bizhawk. The most issue also is running Emulators and other Recording Software too because both max out the GPU. Bizhawk i used a long time ago and just see its a GTK Application and it is in AUR so can be a issue there possible. I use Retro Arch mostly for older Games. Yeah some stuf isnt work well under Linux in general so i use Windows on another SSD for my stuff if i need to use Applications i cant get right under Garuda or other Distros. But so far Garuda works with my stuff more then other Distros. May the AMD GPU give you a better result. :wink:
