WebGL not working for Nvidia Google Chrome 112.x

Can't use WebGL in Nvidia container using Google Chrome

Previous tag, ghcr.io/m1k1o/neko/nvidia-google-chrome:2.8.1 works. That was google chrome version 111.0.5563.146 and latest tag uses already chrome version 112.0.5615.49. Something they must have changed...

Thank you

I fixed current google chrome version, new tag v2.8.3 will be soon available so that :latest is not broken. I'll keep this issue open to track progress on this topic. Thanks for reporting

From the issue its clear, that this won't be worked on:

I'm done with this mess. If someone wants to pay for my time to track down all of this Chrome BS and file appropriate bug reports, then fine. Otherwise, it's not my job.

Therefore marking as wontfix. Meanwhile firefox works just right with vgl.

I know Chrome has soome issues in its GPU pipelines. A few times I reported breaking changes that stalled the video (that was copied to canvas) after they changed the code. The PM on the chromium issue was not the best person to interact with. They will fix it when one of their apps get affected or some user gets screwed and stays on top of them till they fix it. The developers usually try their best but the browser has become super complicated in terms of the code.

Btw, I'm using Edge now, and the decorations removal works, but the file download is a bit tricky since it selects its own Downloads folder and user has to pick the meko location.

Is Edge affected by this, too?

Could you please link to the issue?

[m1k1o]

Its linked earlier in this issue, here is the link again: VirtualGL/virtualgl#229

If the change comes from Chromium then as soon as Edge and Brave update to this version, they won't work as well. But maybe it is only google chrome, hard for me to say.

Ok, there is also this: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra

I realized you might be using virtualgl to run the apps on the gpu inside docker, not for what I was thinking.

Have you considered using NVIDIA Docker?

[m1k1o]

It uses nvidia docker. This topic is fairly complex. You can read about it more here: https://github.com/selkies-project/docker-nvidia-egl-desktop that project was used as a base for EGL implementation in Neko.
