I've been documenting my attempt to work around this problem here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47415198/missing-gl-version-from- glewinit-using-egl/54668271#54668271
I discovered an nvidia blog post - https://devblogs.nvidia.com/linking- opengl-server-side-rendering/ - which says: "If you want to use EGL context management instead, link against libOpenGL.so and libEGL.so." After installing the nvidia-410 package, as reported in the original post, the EGL test program from the original post doesn't work if linking against libGL.so: $ wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/funchal/bff0a8d6dae5b3ace1a88c392416b5bc/raw/1427821a2390a30779881ab59c55b5550a468919/main.c $ gcc main.c -lGL -lEGL $ ./a.out egl 1.5 a.out: main.c:53: main: Assertion `renderer' failed. Aborted (core dumped) However it does work if linking against libOpenGL.so: $ wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/funchal/bff0a8d6dae5b3ace1a88c392416b5bc/raw/1427821a2390a30779881ab59c55b5550a468919/main.c $ gcc main.c -L/usr/lib/nvidia-410 -lOpenGL -lEGL $ ./a.out egl 1.5 renderer: Tesla K80/PCIe/SSE2 version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 410.78 With installing via a runfile as mentioned by mmatl in post #8, the test program works when linking against either libGL.so or libOpenGL.so. The difference between the packaged and runfile drivers may be due to the dependencies linked into libGL.so (I included a comparison in the stackoverflow post). The final solution is therefore to link against libOpenGL.so instead of libGL.so. -- 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/1731968 Title: 384.90-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 EGL crashes at startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1731968/+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
