Description Jérôme Hénin 2020-11-06 19:00:21 CET

Description of problem:

On a laptop with optimus, when trying to start anything using the nvidia driver, I get errors because the libraries and tools provided by the driver are not where they are expected, in /usr/lib64/nvidia-current


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
455.38-1.mga8.nonfree

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install primus and dependencies
2. enter command "nvidia-settings-bumblebee"
3. Get the error:  [ERROR]Error running "/usr/lib64/nvidia-current/bin/nvidia-settings": No such file or directory

Other way to reproduce:
2. enter  command "primusrun glxspheres64"
3. get the error:
primus: fatal: failed to load any of the libraries: /usr/lib64/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib64/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi, thanks reporting this.

NVIDIA-current has been switched to be glvnd compatible.

Assigning to package maintainer group.
Cc'd recent commiter on this.

A discussion of more or less the same question on the Gentoo bug DB:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/716918

Is the target for Mga 8 to have primus offloading working with glvnd libs, or to default to VirtualGL?

I noticed that this is still working on my machine:
> optirun -b virtualgl glxspheres64

However this:
> optirun -b virtualgl nvidia-settings 

Fails with the message:
"ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system"
