After 24.04 upgrade, many graphical app failures under Wayland; no issues with Xorg

[Martin D. Weinberg]

Many applications seem to fail under a Wayland session that work correctly with an Xorg session. E.g.
- The nextcloud client app fails to contact the server and functions in the app will not launch with Wayland while they work perfectly in Xorg
- The Vivaldi browser exits with: MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed. It works correctly under Xorg.
- The Slack app works correct in Xorg not in Wayland.
- The Firefox snap works fine in both.

I assume that these are related? Esp. that latter suggests to me that there is some library problem?

I should also mention: this was an upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 and all of the apps worked correctly in 23.10.

[Martin D. Weinberg (martin-weinberg-5)]

I tried the same upgrade and test on an old Sandy Bridge laptop. Everything works as expected there. So a Haswell issue perhaps?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[MichaelB (mrbou)]

Same here.. I upgraded from 22.04 (upgrade failed but i managed to install missing packages with dpkg --configure -a, apt install -f, apt upgrade.. but it's not our issue in this thread)

When we click on nautilus icon, nothing happen (on wayland)

michael@michael-ubuntu:~$ nautilus
** Message: 22:29:35.550: Connecting to org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete
Erreur de segmentation

If i close the session and start with xorg it's fine, nautilus opened.

michael@michael-ubuntu:~$ nautilus
** Message: 22:29:35.550: Connecting to org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files

This happen with some other applications as gnome-control-center by example.

[Martin D. Weinberg (martin-weinberg-5)]

Thanks. Sounds similar. My nautilus and gnome-control center do work strangely enough. But the more clues the better.

[Martin D. Weinberg (martin-weinberg-5)]

I also tried removing the Mesa Vulkan driver and set `export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965`. That gets rid of the warning message but I still get a hang with Vivaldi and nextcloud-desktop still does not work.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Thanks for the bug report. I suppose it's possible all these issues are related, but we shouldn't assume they are so quickly...

The Vulkan error message is being tracked in bug 2038313. As for Nextcloud, Vivaldi and Slack, they are all Chromium-based (or Electron which uses Chromium). So it's possible that Chromium's Wayland backend is a common point of failure. Although the error message itself is definitely coming from Mesa.

Since the only relevant Ubuntu package I can see is already tracked in bug 2038313 I will mark this as a duplicate of that, but you should also log bugs against each of the affected apps in their respective trackers.

[Martin D. Weinberg (martin-weinberg-5)]

I'd tentatively suggest that this is not a duplicate in the following sense:

- bug 2038313 occurs on both Wayland and Xorg sessions
- the case(s) that I reported here occur only on Wayland; everything works as expected in Xorg

That seems like some sort of clue?

I did file a report on `nextcloud-desktop` as you suggested. My goal here is to help and I hope I've done that.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

That only means the Xorg code path isn't trying to use Vulkan. Or that it happens to work on Xorg. And the frequency of the error will be app-specific dependending on what features are used.

[Jason Ernst (compscidr)]

Not sure if related, but having similar graphical failures for nautilus, gnome-control-center, etc. Using nvidia-driver-535.

Had a similar upgrade case to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2061257/comments/6 where it failed initially and I recovered it.

Similar output of
`libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
Segmentation fault (core dumped)`

[Martin D. Weinberg (martin-weinberg-5)]

All of the Wayland issues for Haswell disappeared for me in fixes to the Intel drivers in the last week. The bug #2038313 in upscayl still remains.
