| mamarley | ricotz: We just got a message on the graphics-drivers-testers PPA about the libnvidia-egl-wayland.so being in the wrong place. It looks like what the guy says is correct, but I just wanted to get your opinion before I make any changes. | 12:55 |
|---|---|---|
| ricotz | mamarley, the mail is about the location of 10_nvidia_wayland.json ? | 15:06 |
| mamarley | ricotz: Yes. | 15:07 |
| mamarley | (I am not able to test this directly because I don't have Wayland set up on any of my PCs.) | 15:07 |
| ricotz | but this seems correct while glvnd support has not landed yet | 15:07 |
| mamarley | I thought so too, so I should go ahead and move the file? | 15:08 |
| ricotz | I guess I would prefer a symlink | 15:08 |
| mamarley | OK, will do. | 15:08 |
| ricotz | tseliot, hi, https://lists.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers-testers/msg00098.html | 15:09 |
| tseliot | ricotz: I didn't put the file in the right place because the NVIDIA installer doesn't do that. I've just read this, though: | 15:12 |
| tseliot | The NVIDIA EGL driver uses a JSON-based loader to load all EGL External platforms available on the system. If this library is not installed as part of a NVIDIA driver installation, a JSON configuration file must be manually added in order to make the library work with the NVIDIA driver. The default EGL External platform JSON configuration directory is: /usr/share/egl/egl_external_platform.d/ | 15:12 |
| mamarley | tseliot: The poster did say that the .run file exhibited the same issue. | 15:12 |
| tseliot | I wonder why they don't install something the worked on | 15:12 |
| tseliot | *they | 15:12 |
| mamarley | Beats me. | 15:13 |
| ricotz | mamarley, I assumed non-PPA means ubuntu archive | 15:13 |
| mamarley | There is no nvidia-390 in the main archive yet. | 15:14 |
| mamarley | But yes, the wording was a bit confusing. | 15:14 |
| ricotz | right, would be the same with 384 | 15:14 |
| mamarley | True. So what do you guys think we should do? | 15:15 |
| tseliot | they even have this in the nvidia installer code: | 15:15 |
| tseliot | #define DEFAULT_EGL_EXTERNAL_PLATFORM_JSON_PATH "/usr/share/egl/egl_external_platform.d" | 15:15 |
| tseliot | actually, I got that right in the new nvidia packaging. Too bad it's not ready yet | 15:17 |
| mamarley | So should I move the file or symlink it? | 15:17 |
| tseliot | mamarley: you can move it. This is how I install it in the new packaging | 15:18 |
| tseliot | NVIDIA-Linux/10_nvidia_wayland.json usr/share/egl/egl_external_platform.d | 15:18 |
| mamarley | OK, great. I will do that this afternoon for all the NVIDIA drivers we package that have the file. | 15:19 |
