Missing EGL OpenGL implementation with nvidia drivers

Support Graphics & Display
1

Hi!

I was trying to create a virgl accelerated vm, only to have a big error dialog in my face about “something something eglBindAPI failed”.

I later tested that function in a minimal C program, and it seems that there is no OpenGL EGL implementation available, only OpenGL ES… which is very confusing, as the nvidia drivers should have that.

eglinfo says this:

X11 platform:
EGL API version: 1.4
EGL vendor string: Google Inc.
EGL version string: 1.4 SwiftShader 4.1.0.7
EGL client APIs: OpenGL_ES
EGL extensions string:
    EGL_KHR_create_context EGL_KHR_get_all_proc_addresses
    EGL_KHR_gl_texture_2D_image EGL_KHR_gl_texture_cubemap_image
    EGL_KHR_gl_renderbuffer_image EGL_KHR_fence_sync EGL_KHR_image_base
    EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context EGL_ANGLE_iosurface_client_buffer
    EGL_ANDROID_framebuffer_target EGL_ANDROID_recordable

And it looks like I don’t have the right EGL based on the nvidia X server settings -> graphics information -> EGL tab either. (I can’t post pictures or links on the forum yet)
It looks like the active EGL on my system is somehow an Android implementation? How? The “Vendor” field should say “NVIDIA Corporation”.

Installed nvidia packages:

# pacman -Qqs nvidia
egl-wayland
ffnvcodec-headers
gwe
lib32-libvdpau
lib32-nvidia-440xx-utils
libvdpau
libxnvctrl
linux54-nvidia-440xx
linux58-nvidia-440xx
mhwd-nvidia-340xx
mhwd-nvidia-390xx
mhwd-nvidia-418xx
mhwd-nvidia-430xx
mhwd-nvidia-435xx
mhwd-nvidia-440xx
mhwd-nvidia-450xx
mhwd-nvidia-455xx
nvidia-440xx-utils
pycuda-headers
# pacman -Qqs libglvnd
lib32-libglvnd
libglvnd

If I search for egl files I get:

# pacman -Qil nvidia-440xx-utils | grep -i egl
nvidia-440xx-utils /usr/lib/libEGL_nvidia.so.0
nvidia-440xx-utils /usr/lib/libEGL_nvidia.so.440.100
nvidia-440xx-utils /usr/lib/libnvidia-eglcore.so.440.100
nvidia-440xx-utils /usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/
nvidia-440xx-utils /usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json

Does anyone have any idea how to install/configure the right EGL implementation? It is quite a frustrating (albeit niche) problem. Thanks!

Well…
For the time being I just copied the libEGL.so.1.1.0 from the nvidia driver downloaded from the browser to /usr/lib and that seems to be correct. I am still confused as to why I did not have the correct version of the file.
Another thing, the libGL.so seems to be having problems as well:
glinfo: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Current

Is this an arch package problem, or I just have an anomaly in my system?

This is provided by package libglvnd

$ pacman -Fx libEGL.so.1.1
extra/libglvnd 1.3.2-1
    usr/lib/libEGL.so.1.1.0
multilib/lib32-libglvnd 1.3.2-1

Hi!

But I found that if I have the one that’s provided it gets me this output:

❯ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libEGL.so.1.1.0.bak eglinfo
EGL client extensions string:
    EGL_KHR_client_get_all_proc_addresses EGL_KHR_platform_gbm
    EGL_KHR_platform_x11 EGL_EXT_client_extensions EGL_EXT_platform_base

GBM platform:
EGL API version: 1.4
EGL vendor string: Google Inc.
EGL version string: 1.4 SwiftShader 4.1.0.7
EGL client APIs: OpenGL_ES
[...]

Which is not correct.
It should be:
