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?) inxihangs indefinitely as soon as it reaches Graphicseglinfohangs 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.
