Description Fabio Valentini 2017-04-13 08:10:13 EDT

Description of problem:
I tried to run the "ohmygiraffe" and "hanoi-towers" snapps, but both don't even manage to open a window and hang with the following errors:

 libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
 libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
snapd-2.23.6-4.fc26.x86_64
nvidia-driver-381.09-1.fc26.x86_64 (from negativo17) on kernel-4.10.9-200.fc25.x86_64 (linux 4.11 not supported yet)


How reproducible:
run snap games on fedora 25 or 26 with NVIDIA drivers.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo snap install ohmygiraffe
2. snap run ohmygiraffe
3. nothing happens except the GL error messages

How did you install nvidia drivers?

Comment 2 Fabio Valentini 2017-04-13 08:29:52 EDT

As I mentioned, I use the RPM packages from the negativo17 repository (with akmod, not dkms for kernel modules).

Comment 3 Zygmunt Krynicki 2017-04-13 09:20:16 EDT

Thanks. I was just curious. There's no explicit nvidia code for Fedora yet. We could try re-compiling snapd with `--enable-nvidia-arch` as that is somewhat similar. If someone would like to try that I'd love to know. I don't have the correct hardware to do this.
