Public bug reported: Release: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Package version: 384.90-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
In the latest driver 384.90-0ubuntu0.16.04.2, EGL initialisation is now broken and the GL context returned is inconsistent leading to crashes. I have prepared a minimised testcase that showcases the problem with the latest driver. I have also made sure it works fine with both previous versions 384.90-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 and 384.81-0ubuntu1 in a clean install. Here's the code: https://gist.github.com/funchal/bff0a8d6dae5b3ace1a88c392416b5bc It can be compiled using "gcc main.c -lGL -lEGL". The crash is: egl 1.4 a.out: main.c:59: main: Assertion `renderer' failed. Aborted (core dumped) This is caused by NULL return from glGetString for GL renderer. Note this isn't the only way to cause a crash, for example attempting to use the GL context in other ways will also crash, but this shows the regression in a minimal testcase. Previous drivers successfully complete the testcase with return code 0. I have tested this on both a desktop machine with a GTX 1080, and a display-less server with a Tesla K80, with a fresh Ubuntu install. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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-384/+bug/1731968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
