Description Paul Smith 2025-02-26 14:34:02 UTC

After the today's kernel update, chrome opens with a dark blank window and does not work.

If I start the fedora session with the previous kernel, everything is fine.

To make chrome working with the new kernel, we need to use:

google-chrome --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer

The problematic kernel:

kernel-6.13.4-200.fc41.x86_64

Comment 1 Paul Smith 2025-02-26 15:52:38 UTC

Some video streams do not play with mpv, also due to the new kernel -- everything works fine with the previous kernel.

Comment 2 Justin M. Forbes 2025-02-26 17:09:14 UTC

Running the nvidia driver per chance?

Comment 3 Paul Smith 2025-02-26 18:54:24 UTC

Thanks, Justin. I guess so, as

$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_drm            147456  9
nvidia_modeset       1671168  9 nvidia_drm
nvidia_uvm           3989504  2
nvidia              77516800  112 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset
drm_ttm_helper         16384  2 nvidia_drm
video                  81920  1 nvidia_modeset

(This was obtained while running the previous kernel and not the problematic one.)

Comment 4 Justin M. Forbes 2025-02-26 21:28:06 UTC

Unfortunately, we have no control of the nvidia driver. It is not a part of the linux kernel, and it is not open source, so we have no way of fixing things.  During test week some people mentioned that the nvidia 570 driver was required for 6.13+ kernels  You might look for an update in rpmfusion or wherever you got that driver.

Comment 5 Paul Smith 2025-02-26 22:40:34 UTC

Thanks a lot for the hint, Justin: nvidia 570 driver fixes the issue!
