Public bug reported: Hi,
I have no direct rendering unless using sudo. sol@CALC1:~$ export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose; glxinfo | grep direct libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: reverting to indirect rendering direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) But sol@CALC1:~$ sudo LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: Yes GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access, It seems to be a perms problem. I am a member of root and video groups. sol@CALC1:~$ ls -la /dev/nvi* crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 nov. 14 14:11 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 nov. 14 14:11 /dev/nvidiactl Is it a symlink problem occuring only for non root user ? I don't have any lib64 folder in /usr sol@CALC1:~$ locate swrast /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so sol@CALC1:~$ lspci -v | grep VGA 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [NVS 300] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-32-generic Nvidia driver 295.40 Arch x86_64 ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: nvidia -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078726 Title: nvidia driver no direct rendering unless root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1078726/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
