Description Fabio Valentini 2017-04-13 12:10:13 UTC
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 12:29:52 UTC
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 13:20:16 UTC
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.

Comment 4 Neal Gompa 2018-01-29 14:35:06 UTC
There's a proposed change upstream that will fix this for Fedora: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/4559

I've queued this to be added for my next snapd update.

The underlying issue was that snap-confine choked on the glvnd layout used by Fedora, and this should resolve it.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 07:57:03 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:44:05 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
