Title:
Discrete GPU is not used even when using "Launch using dedicated
graphics card" option
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Image: 22.04 beta
Device: Dell Precision 7760 (with NVIDIA Corporation GA104GLM [RTX A5000
Mobile] GPU)
Desktop: GNOME running Wayland
Firefox snap: 98.0.2-1 (1154)
Summary
=======
Firefox, a snap application, does not see the Discrete GPU, even when
run using the appropriate option ("Launch using Discrete Graphics
Card"). The problem does not seem to happen with non-snap
applications.
Steps to reproduce
==================
1. Install 22.04 beta image using third party software (nvidia proprietary
drivers)
2. Launch Firefox by left-clicking on the icon
3. Go to about:support, and check the GPU information
4. Close Firefox
5. Right click on Firefox icon, and select "Launch using Discrete Graphics
Card"
6. Repeat step 3
Expected result
===============
In step 3, the Active GPU should be the Integrated GPU (in my case, Intel).
In step 6, the Active GPU should be the Discrete GPU (in my case, Nvidia).
Actual result
=============
In both step 3 and step 6, the active GPU is the integrated one:
Graphics
--------
GPU #1
Active: Yes
Description: Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics (TGL GT1)
Vendor ID: 0x8086
Device ID: 0x9a70
Driver Vendor: mesa/iris
Driver Version: 21.0.3.0
RAM: 0
GPU #2
Active: No
Vendor ID: 0x10de
Device ID: 0x24b6
It might be a snap problem, because if I run the same test with a non-snap
application (e.g. Terminal), it works as expected:
1. Open the terminal application, and run (you may have to install
mesa-utils package):
$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor"
OpenGL vendor string: Intel
2. Close the terminal, right click on its icon, select "Launch using
Discrete Graphics Card" and repeat step 1:
$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor"
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
