KDE/SDDM fails to start on NVIDIA proprietary driver v560.35.03 + Kernel 6.11.0 (Could not initialize egl/EGL not available) #344167

opl- · 2024-09-24T09:15:05Z

Updating NixOS to nixpkgs c04d565 results in SDDM crashing on startup with "Could not initialize egl" and "EGL not available" errors logged in the journal.

Additional context

nixpkgs: c04d565
Kernel: v6.11.0
NVIDIA driver: v560.35.03 (crashes with both open and non-open kernel module)
KDE: v6.1.5 (wayland)
dGPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti Laptop

Previous working generation was running nixpkgs c374d94 (Linux kernel v6.10.6 with the beta v560.31.02 NVIDIA driver).

# configuration.nix
boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;
services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ];
hardware.nvidia.package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.beta;
hardware.nvidia.modesetting.enable = true;
hardware.nvidia.open = true; # either crashes
hardware.nvidia.powerManagement.enable = true;
hardware.nvidia.powerManagement.finegrained = false;
hardware.nvidia.prime.sync.enable = true;

sudo journalctl -b -1 | grep sddm

Nearly identical with open and non-open kernel module, the only difference being the HDMI-A-1 display being named unknown.

Linking issue #343774 as it might be related, but the errors in the logs given there differ from mine.

This comment on that issue links to an Arch forum thread, where someone explains the issue is caused by "simpledrm" not being automatically disabled by the NVIDIA driver due to header changes in kernel v6.11.0.

SDDM and KDE start correctly when testing the suggested workaround by adding initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init to kernel parameters with the open kernel modules, but it causes console TTYs to freeze almost immediately during boot, eternally showing only the first two lines of boot logs. I think KDE crashed twice without the open kernel module.

To quickly test if this will fix the issue, I selected the NixOS generation with kernel v6.11.0 in grub, pressed [e], then added initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init at the end of the text box at the bottom, separated from the rest by a space, and pressed [enter] to boot.

opl- · 2024-09-24T10:46:54Z

There's already a PR to the NVIDIA open-gpu-kernel-modules repository which adds support for the renamed kernel header files.

I tried to test it with the following NixOS configuration change after merging the PR into the v560.35.03 kernel module. I think this is technically incorrect as I'm not globally overriding the linuxPackages.nvidia_x11 package, but the Nix documentation again failed to assist me in doing that.

As a result SDDM was no longer crashing, but wasn't rendering correctly either, staying as a black screen. The only reason I realized it's running is because it briefly flashed (at the wrong resolution) when I switched to a console TTY.

After blindly entering my password into the black SDDM, KDE crashed with the errors from #343774 appearing in it.

I guess I'm finally experiencing the reasons why people always say not to run the latest kernel with NVIDIA proprietary drivers.

{ config, pkgs }: {
  # This does not work. Kind of.
  hardware.nvidia.open = true;
  hardware.nvidia.package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.beta.overrideAttrs {
    open = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.beta.open.overrideAttrs {
      src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
        owner = "opl-";
        repo = "open-gpu-kernel-modules";
        rev = "main";
        hash = "sha256-SzbXewSU1Mn8uFtLlDGiJKJSEkXBoTRpLlFzlvZiliU=";
      };
    };
  };
}

And indeed, Kernel v6.10.11 ({ boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_6_10; }) works fine with NVIDIA proprietary v560.35.03 + open kernel module.

VeilSilence · 2024-09-24T11:58:40Z

Nvidia issue. Stay at 6.10 until new driver release.

NixOS/nixpkgs#344167

See NixOS/nixpkgs#344167

- Pin kernel to 6.10.11 for ryzennova, due to NixOS/nixpkgs#344167 - Fix eza icon options, made it set to "auto" instead of true - Removed qtbase, breaks Plasma 6.2.1 theming - Remove python nose as it was deprecated and remove from nixpkgs - Add space to transient prompt for oh-my-posh - Switch from base xwaylandvideobridge to kdePackages.xwaylandvideobridge - Remove gpg scdaemon settings as it seems to break Yubikey support

djmaze · 2024-10-26T22:22:39Z

With kernel 6.11.5 (boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;), the latest beta nvidia driver seems to work for me. Running 24.05 stable, I did this:

    package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.mkDriver {
      version = "565.57.01";
      sha256_64bit = "sha256-buvpTlheOF6IBPWnQVLfQUiHv4GcwhvZW3Ks0PsYLHo=";
      sha256_aarch64 = "sha256-aDVc3sNTG4O3y+vKW87mw+i9AqXCY29GVqEIUlsvYfE=";
      openSha256 = "sha256-/tM3n9huz1MTE6KKtTCBglBMBGGL/GOHi5ZSUag4zXA=";
      settingsSha256 = "sha256-H7uEe34LdmUFcMcS6bz7sbpYhg9zPCb/5AmZZFTx1QA=";
      persistencedSha256 = "sha256-hdszsACWNqkCh8G4VBNitDT85gk9gJe1BlQ8LdrYIkg=";
    };

Need to disable nvidia-settings though because of a compilation error:

    # The nvidia-settings build is currently broken due to a missing
    # vulkan header; re-enable whenever?
    # 0384602eac8bc57add3227688ec242667df3ffe3the hits stable.
    nvidiaSettings = false;

Also, booting the system with an external monitor attached makes the system freeze instantly when loading the kernel on my device (ProArt PX13), so for now I disconnect it before booting the machine.

Murazaki · 2024-10-28T09:35:27Z

Could not stay on 6.10 as I can´t rebuild with it "because it reached end of life upstream".
And KDE still crashing after a few minutes and refusing to reboot ?
Trying to switch to beta (565.57.01) like @djmaze.

no nvidia-settings build issue for me.

Edit: getting a nvidia driver mismatch issue...

Edit: fixed by deactivating boot nvidia modules. (or you can use nvidia_x11_beta)

# boot.extraModulePackages = [ config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidia_x11 ];
boot.extraModulePackages = [ config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidia_x11_beta ];

Murazaki · 2024-10-28T14:45:03Z

Confirming using nvidia 565.57.01 is much more stable than previous versions after several hours of running.
Fixed SDDM not booting.
Fixed KDE crash.
No issues with Electron and Firefox (might be due to Firefox update to 131 though).
Games building shaders and running properly on high perfs.

mksafavi · 2024-10-28T14:50:26Z

Great 👍
Is that with kernel >6.11 ?

Could not stay on 6.10 as I can´t rebuild with it "because it reached end of life upstream".

I'm still on 6.10 on my nvidia machine. I didn't notice this issue.
I switched to 6.10 by this:

boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_6_10;

Murazaki · 2024-10-28T14:58:00Z

Great 👍
Is that with kernel >6.11 ?

Yes, this is on latest :

$ uname -r
6.11.5

NovaViper · 2024-10-30T04:46:58Z

I can confirm that v565.57.01 works with 6.11.5-xanmod1!

RedEtherbloom · 2024-11-04T22:25:01Z

We can also confirm this on Kernel 6.11.5.
Troubles first began on 6.11, went away when we had to upgrade to 6.11.
Switching to the drivers beta branch fixed them for us again.
