OpenGL applications using LLVMpipe despite nvidia gpu and drivers installed since update

Castor · 8 March 2022 20:02

Background:
I was playing Minecraft with some friends last night and found my FPS to be abnormally low, (8-24 vs 40 -70 odd), I’d done a regular update earlier and rebooted but nothing specific to graphics drivers.

Looking through the F3 and glxinfo | grep -i "OpenGL renderer", Open GL is using
llvmpipe (LLVM 13.0.1, 256 bits)
Previously Minecraft would report using the installed NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and I’d installed drivers using the Manjaro Settings panel’s MWHD interface. This has also changed in the “About” section of Gnome Settings

Recently signed up so image can’t be embedded imgur/a/pd9p2Gz.png

I’ve been trying to self-solve this issue, but feel a little out of my depth with Nvidia.
prime-run crashes with the error:

$ prime-run glxspheres32
Polygons in scene: 62464 (61 spheres * 1024 polys/spheres)
GLX FB config ID of window: 0x2d1 (8/8/8/0)

Apologies for another Nvidia thread, been using Linux for a decade and still can’t seem to make sense of their driver issues.

You installed all of them?
Please share from terminal
mhwd -li
If only video-nvidia is listed, then check also this

If more drivers are listed, remove those and reinstall video-nvidia then check the above for early kms part.

Castor · 9 March 2022 13:15

video-linux was installed but has been removed and I then went through the steps from your linked post, I hope:

I changed MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm) in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Ran sudo mkinitcpio -P
Appended GRUB_CMD_LINUX="nvidia-drm.modeset=1" to /etc/default/grub`
Ran sudo update-grub
Rebooted

$ mhwd -li Reports:

Still experiencing the same behavior after reboot, sorry for my slow reply to your prompt response

anon89812132 · 10 March 2022 06:01

Share the /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf content
By the way, the use of

On your system is not needed … You only have one GPU, hence everything will be rendered trough it.

Please make sure you did not created extra xorg.conf files …

Check the configuration as mentioned here Configure Graphics Cards - Manjaro

When in doubt, run this:

sudo mhwd-gpu --setmod nvidia --setxorg /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf

Castor · 10 March 2022 17:27

Following your link and command the configuration does not look off to me, but I may be missing something.
Here is the output of $ cat /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf:

And $ glxinfo | grep OpenGL still appears to use LLVM:

And there is a symlink to that file right?

It appears so:

megavolt · 10 March 2022 18:52

My guess is that for some reason (and I saw it now the first time ever), xorg doesn’t load the submodule:

/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg/libglxserver_nvidia.so

Example from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

[    13.292] (II) Loading sub module "glxserver_nvidia"
[    13.292] (II) LoadModule: "glxserver_nvidia"
[    13.292] (II) Loading /usr/lib/nvidia/xorg/libglxserver_nvidia.so
[    13.425] (II) Module glxserver_nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
[    13.425] 	compiled for 1.6.99.901, module version = 1.0.0
[    13.425] 	Module class: X.Org Server Extension

Reinstalling the driver should be the most simple solution.

sudo mhwd -r video-nvidia
sudo mhwd -i video-nvidia
reboot

Castor · 10 March 2022 19:23

I tried those steps, removing video-nvidia and reinstalling. But no change is found in performance.

However, I do find this in the logs you pointed towards:

pamac reinstall nvidia-utils

ls -la /usr/lib/nvidia/xorg/

btw… why are both installed?

Chhose dkms or the precompiled one.

Reinstalled nvidia-utils, Removed nvidia-dkms, rebooted. Still no change.
Sorry for the confusion with the dkms, think that was from when I was trying to figure out what was wrong. The 515 and 517 is due to having both kernels installed at present, but I’m running 5.17

$ ls -la /usr/lib/nvidia/xorg/
total 12388

No, idea then Do a clean install of everything nvidia related…

Castor · 10 March 2022 22:46

I gave reinstalling a go, rebooted and no change…
$ pamac list --installed | grep nvidia | awk '{print($1)}' > nvidia_list
$ pamac reinstall (cat nvidia_list ) Running fish, so this syntax is functionally correct

Don’t think I’ve ever rebooted this frequently in my life, thank you for your help though @megavolt
I appreciate your help, I’m lost too

That’s still experimental kernel yet. Try version 5.16 instead.

Castor · 10 March 2022 23:02

I have tried 5.17 and 5.15 and had the same issue

SDN · 10 March 2022 23:05

Delete the 5.17. Boot with 5.15 and then reinstall xorg-server and nvidia driver.
