[12:55] <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.
[15:06] <ricotz> mamarley, the mail is about the location of 10_nvidia_wayland.json ?
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <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.
[15:09] <ricotz> tseliot, hi, https://lists.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers-testers/msg00098.html
[15:12] <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
[15:13] <mamarley> Beats me.
[15:13] <ricotz> mamarley, I assumed non-PPA means ubuntu archive
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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"
[15:17] <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?
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <mamarley> OK, great.  I will do that this afternoon for all the NVIDIA drivers we package that have the file.
