rnhmjoj · 2020-02-24T15:09:24Z

Are you using wayland/sway? Did a previous version of kitty work?

There are a couple issues upstream with this same error. One is about sway, which should have already been fixed in unstable. The other is simply saying that you really need OpenGL 3.3.
If it used to work I guess the lowest requried version has been raised in a recent release.

shyim · 2020-02-24T15:19:44Z

I am using I3. I guess it happend with Kernel update I will downgrade to test that 🤔

shyim · 2020-02-24T17:28:48Z

Same with 5.4 kernel 🙈

vcunat · 2020-02-24T21:09:49Z

Could this be the same as #75868 ?

rnhmjoj · 2020-02-24T22:21:43Z

It may be but I can't reproduce it on the same machine where I tested #75868.

vcunat · 2020-02-25T10:37:07Z

I think it's worth trying LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose in any case (for those who can reproduce the issue).

shyim · 2020-02-25T10:44:03Z

Similar issue happends also with alacritty. I guess it's a general problem

fionera · 2020-02-29T22:23:11Z

I have the same issue after an upgrade. The whole gl context is missing and glxinfo also screams
name of display: :1
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

This doesnt happen on the 19.09 channel

rht · 2020-03-06T11:00:45Z

Bump. I have accidentally spotted this issue, I also use kitty and have been hesitant in updating my unstable channel until this is resolved.

shyim · 2020-03-06T12:39:41Z

It's not only kitty. The whole gl context is broken in 20.03 / unstable.

timokau · 2020-03-09T17:11:35Z

I tried to bisect the problem, but for some reason it just vanished. Now I cannot reproduce it anymore on the same machine with the same configuration and the same pinned nixpkgs. Very weird.

nixos-discourse · 2020-03-09T17:20:29Z

This issue has been mentioned on NixOS Discourse. There might be relevant details there:

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-bisect-bisect-nix-builds/5584/10

fionera · 2020-03-10T09:57:57Z

@timokau I just upgraded to master again but the issue is still there. I am trying your bisect package now

rnhmjoj · 2020-03-10T10:29:51Z

If it's hard to reproduce and seems to appear/disappear randomly maybe it has to do with the /run/opengl-driver impurity of the system and not much with nixpkgs itself.

vcunat · 2020-03-10T10:32:56Z

Right, I would not expect these issues to happen if you have this path matching (i.e. booted NixOS version) with the package version you are using. I suspect the culprit is glibc update done during the 20.03 cycle.

timokau · 2020-03-10T13:23:50Z

Right, I would not expect these issues to happen if you have this path matching (i.e. booted NixOS version) with the package version you are using. I suspect the culprit is glibc update done during the 20.03 cycle.

In an effort to test this, I wanted to go back to a revision before this error occurred (8130f3c), reboot into that and then switch back to a more recent one to see if the problem re-appears.

It turns out that the problem now actually occurs after rebooting into 8130f3c. That revision was definitely good before, and I did reboot. So that confirms that there is some impurity going on (that goes both directions), but rebooting does not fix it. Not sure what does, but apparently at some point some switch was flipped for me.

There is the caveat of NixOS/nixpkgs#80936 here, but I can't reproduce it anymore and its high time for an update.

fatpat · 2020-03-26T10:20:39Z

I have the same issue here with kitty (but with others packages like glxinfo, compton, ...)

the solution was to remove the package and to reinstall it ... don't ask me why

Fresheyeball · 2020-05-18T20:30:57Z

@fatpat that worked for me as a work around. I removed kitty from my configuration.nix, and instead installed it with nix-env now it works. Go figure.

shyim · 2020-05-18T20:46:30Z

Same for me :)

Fresheyeball · 2020-05-18T21:03:23Z

@shyim please don't close this. We still need to be able to install it without nix-env. A workaround is not a bug fix!

maxkrieger · 2020-07-10T06:54:58Z

FWIW my kitty actually was failing in my ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix (installed with nix-env) but worked when I installed it in my user packages (/etc/nixos/configuration.nix).

dustinlacewell · 2020-09-07T11:41:10Z

On unstable, no matter how I install it, I get

fast_data_types.FreeTypeError: Failed to load face, with error: cannot open resource

lapp0 · 2022-02-16T23:00:22Z

I tried a mostly plain configuration as well as nvidia_x11 and nvidia_x11_beta. Thanks for trying, I'm going to ask on discourse.

Hopefully they can see your solution to the issue from the linkback if anything. It might work for some people even if it doesn't work on my end.

Is there any way to escalate this?

@jonringer (nvidia-x11) @primeos @vcunat (mesa) any thoughts on how this might be resolved?

vcunat · 2022-02-17T18:51:25Z

(Note: I am forwarding X11. I have tried with ssh -X, ssh -Y, ssh -XY, and vglconnect, all resulting in the above error)

X11 forwarding with OpenGL? I don't expect that's even meant to work.

jonringer · 2022-02-17T19:19:03Z

The nvidia package doesn't contain a lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed, the only way I can think of handling this would be to add mesa to hardware.opengl.extraPackages, so that you inherit some of the missing directories like /lib/dri

lapp0 · 2022-02-18T00:25:03Z

Thanks for responding.

@vcunat virtualgl (via vglconnect and vglrun) is supposed to handle 3D rendering on the server, and then the 2D stuff is rendered on the clients forwarded X server.

@jonringer I did that, but I still have the same error. (hardware.opengl.extraPackages = [ pkgs.mesa ];)

Mesa doesn't appear to have that library:

Anything you would recommend to find the missing library?

jonringer · 2022-02-18T00:35:29Z

oh sorry, it's pkgs.mesa.drivers

lapp0 · 2022-02-18T03:28:56Z

Thanks! That resolved the error when I simply run glxgears on my server.

Do you have any insights into why I might get the "fbconfig" error when I run it in vglrun?

lapp0 · 2022-02-18T03:38:25Z

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/run/opengl-driver/lib:/run/opengl-driver-32/lib" resulted in vglrun -d :2 glxgears rendering a black screen rather than an error, so it seems I have an issue that is likely unrelated now. Thanks so much for getting me past that hurdle!

vcunat · 2022-02-18T06:46:00Z

That's not how finding OpenGL is supposed to work in NixOS (but we did use it in past). Nowadays it should be indirected through libglvnd. (well, I have no idea about virtualgl in particular...)

dschrempf · 2022-04-11T07:35:13Z

FYI: I use nixos-unstable as my system flake. Stuff works fine when running, e.g., nix run nixos-unstable#glxinfo. However, if I use an older flake such as nix run nixos-21.11#glxinfo, I get the same errors mentioned in this thread.

I bumped into this because nixos-unstable#calibre is broken at the moment, and I cannot run nixos-21-.11#calibre either.

vcunat · 2022-04-11T08:25:09Z

I know it's a tangential topic, but as for workarounds for such cases, I'd:

look at https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/calibre.x86_64-linux
nix build /nix/store/70mp9j7lxbyy0ckg22y3g865y9mszlc0-calibre-5.37.0
and use that for now... or you can see git commit hashes there, too.
I generally keep older profiles and fall back to those versions in case of encountering problems; not all issues get discovered during built time or even when using a package.

dschrempf · 2022-04-11T08:40:40Z

Thank you for tthis tip! I can build calibre, but I get the same GLX error.Failed to finding matching FBConfig.

vcunat · 2022-04-11T08:53:07Z

For reference, the above calibre starts up without any errors on my 21.11 system.

dschrempf · 2022-04-11T10:42:57Z

Indeed, that's interesting...

The issue is back for kitty as well.

jeff-hykin · 2023-04-12T01:22:23Z

One year later, sadly still a problem. I've hit it with alacritty and realsense-viewer. Previously, multiple times, nixGL solved it for alacritty for me, but have issues with that currently. And as for realsense-viewer, nixGL doesn't work on arm which is where I'm using the realsense-viewer.

I just got used to rebooting after upgrading, and it's not always needed.

Rebooting doesn't work in my case.

If anyone knows where the error is being thrown (source code), I'm be interested in digging into the problem.

greenm01 · 2023-10-26T23:07:29Z

I'm encountering this exact same error almost 4 years later.....

I followed the rabbit hole on this thread and solved the problem as so:

The issue was an out of date home-manager flake in ~/.config/home-manager

nix flake update
home-manager switch

Boom, problem solved!
