Stuck with Mesa GLX Indirect renderer after kernel update, NVIDIA driver reinstallation

Post by eshell » 2021/10/18 19:44:38

I recently updated the kernel on a CentOS 7.9.2009 system (kernel-3.10.0-1160.25.1.el7.x86_64) and then reinstalled the 460.73.01 drivers using the .run file. I believed everything was fine afterward because nvidia-smi displays the GPUs:

Code: Select all

However, I discovered that WebGL content was failing to display in Firefox. Further investigation showed that OpenGL rendering was being done via Mesa instead of the NVIDIA driver:

Code: Select all

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.2)
I attempted to fix this without success by running “nvidia-uninstall”, rebooting the system, and then reinstalling with the same .run file.

I searched and found a number of forum posts by people with this situation but did not find any successful resolution. How can I get hardware acceleration back?

Re: Stuck with Mesa GLX Indirect renderer after kernel update, NVIDIA driver reinstallation

What if you uninstall the .run content and then 'yum install kmod-nvidia' from ELRepo?

Re: Stuck with Mesa GLX Indirect renderer after kernel update, NVIDIA driver reinstallation

I've considered that but have yet to try it because these systems came preconfigured from a vendor and I want to make as few changes as possible to avoid breaking anything (else) in the environment.

From what I've read, the NVIDIA driver installer should properly link libraries required by Xorg so that nvidia_drm handles the OpenGL rendering. I feel like either I'm missing some basic information or there's a bug in the installer. I haven't wanted to try a different driver version for the same reasons as not wanting to use an rpm.

Package manager can tell whether new RPM package would conflict with already installed RPM packages.
Package manager knows which files/links to remove, when it uninstalls RPM package and whether there are dependant packages.
Package manager has no idea what changes NVidia's .run does to the system. Neither do we.

Analogy: you have wallet. You put cash in. You take cash out. You know how much there is cash in the wallet.
Pickpocket sneaks to your wallet and does whatever it does. Wont't tell you. Claims to be honest.
You still "know" how much there is cash in the wallet?

Why does that matter? You had a system. The .run did something. CentOS Linux 7 does still get security updates.
They must be installed (yum update). The update can happily overwrite .run's files, because it does not know that they exists.


There is more. The .run installs kernel module for the currently running kernel. Each new kernel version needs new module.
The ELRepo kernel module is compatible with many kernel versions (possibly all future CentOS 7 kernels). No action required.

I fully understand and appreciate the advantages of using a package manager. It is not an ideal solution in my circumstances, which I already explained.

I do not expect anyone to know details about the installer for the NVIDIA binary driver. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself might point out an obvious misconfiguration of Xorg or be able to lay some breadcrumbs to help me find a solution.

For what it's worth, I will likely end up trying the kmod since I don't appear to be able to solve this in a timely way.
