Package: nvidia-xconfig Version: 390.25-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Apologies if this (my first) bug report is inappropriate, I'll be happy to file better ones if necessary. *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? A rather convoluted sequence of operations: 1. Install NVidia drivers Add the contrib and non-free packages: # vi /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free # apt update # apt dist-upgrade # apt install nvidia-driver vulkan-utils nvidia-smi nvidia-xconfig 2. System freezes after locking screen with xflock4, can't even get to tty. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/411900/after-installing-nvidia- drivers-computer-freezes-after-locking-cant-even-get Workaround is to generate /etc/X11/xorg.conf by running nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig # /etc/init.d/lightdm restart 3. Install Steam Download steam_1.0.0.56-1_i386.deb from https://packages.debian.org/buster/steam Download libgl1_1.1.0-1_i386.deb from https://packages.debian.org/buster/libgl1 # wget http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/pool/non- free/s/steam/steam_1.0.0.56-1_i386.deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libg/libglvnd/libgl1_1.1.0-1_i386.deb # dpkg --add-architecture i386 # apt update # dpkg -i steam_1.0.0.56-1_i386.deb libgl1_1.1.0-1_i386.deb # apt -f install Steam fails with: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libGL.so.1 Press enter to continue: At this point, glxinfo and glxgears work fine. 4. Install NVidia 32-bit GLX libraries: # apt install libgl1-nvidia-glx The following packages will be REMOVED: libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-vulkan-common nvidia- vulkan-icd At this point, glxinfo and glxgears fail (even before restaring X) with: name of display: :0.0 X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 155 (NV-GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 () Resource id in failed request: 0x3a00003 Serial number of failed request: 35 Current serial number in output stream: 35 The same error is encountered when trying to run Steam. Workarounds in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5562 did not help because, as I would only find later, glxinfo & glxgears were broken. Upon restaring X the following errors are found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 817.427] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X [ 817.427] (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X [ 817.427] (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If [ 817.427] (EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try [ 817.427] (EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Adding NVidia’s drivers path in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the otherwise empty “Files” section: Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" EndSection The paths are those that contain libglx.so # find /usr/ -name libglx.so /usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so /usr/lib/nvidia/current/libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/libglx.so Found this idea in the NVidia Dveloper forum: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/800059/linux/glxinfo-command- returning-quot-badwindow-invalid-window-parameter-quot-error/ * What was the outcome of this action? After restarting X, glxinfo and glxgears worked fine again, and so does Steam. * What outcome did you expect instead? *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages nvidia-xconfig depends on: ii libc6 2.27-6 ii nvidia-installer-cleanup 20151021+8 Versions of packages nvidia-xconfig recommends: ii libgl1-nvidia-glx [libgl1-nvidia-glx-any] 390.77-1 nvidia-xconfig suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
