[Mesa 18.0 + nvidia-390] No 3D acceleration, using llvmpipe

[Michael]

As requested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libglvnd/+bug/1751414, I fill a new bug.

Even after getting the fixed packages in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libglvnd/+bug/1751414, I get no 3D acceleration. Seems to be some mixup with nvidia drivers.

$glxinfo

Can you tell us what nvidia package you have installed?

[Michael (3-ueuntu-4)]

a aptitude search nvidia | grep "i " gives only

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

It seems the package layout has changed a lot in 390:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390

So I'm not sure if your driver is fully installed, or if it is expected to work at all.

Maybe see also bug 1752053.

[Michael (3-ueuntu-4)]

The thing is: I don't need this driver at all (having only Intel...)

Theoretically, I could simply remove this driver, but...

$ sudo apt remove libnvidia-gl-390 libnvidia-common-390

So, I think there are 2 bugs:
1. The nvidia package kills the Intel accelaration
2. There are errors in the dependencies which prevent me to simply remove the driver.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

just install libegl-mesa0 and tell what happens?

I had to add some packages to get apt on the right way.
I'll tell after a restart what happened, I just wanted to write down what apt did ;-)

[Michael (3-ueuntu-4)]

And it worked :-) Thanks for the hint!

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

So is there a bug here, for future reference? In nvidia-390 or mesa? Or none?

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

I think you first got the updates when nvidia had migrated and mesa/libglvnd had no

[shankao (shankao)]

I have tried every solution in this bug, but still getting LLVMpipe renderer. Strangely, it only happens in X.org, but picks the correct Intel in Wayland

[Emiliano (retorquere)]

I have the same as @shankao.
