I compiled the master version of this repo today ( b0f7c2e ) and compiled it. The compilation went successfully and when I try to run, it says:

@pranphy looks like haswell vulkan support isn't very good given the error message. Do you have a discrete gpu?

[pranphy]

I am not sure if I have discrete gpu in my machine. lspci gives:

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and I am not even sure if I have the correct drivers for this installed properly.

Edit: I assume this entry means the driver is there:

This is happening for me too, but without the INTEL-MESA: warning

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/vulkan-using-llvmpipe-instead-of-amdgpu-on-slackware64-current-4175686371/ advised to run vulkaninfo | grep GPU which showed that on laptop at least it was using llvmpipe instead of my intel GPU. As advised, I ran export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/nix/store/jkpxim4m1pgqvzxwh3056y75065526c6-mesa-20.1.7-drivers/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json
and rerun cargo build. It still failed but made the warning disappear. Maybe it can help others.

[pranphy]

May be that is the same issue with me too, that somehow drivers are not working properly.

[trevarj]

@pranphy @teto if you run vkcube (linux) is it successful?

[teto]

vkcube works fine (I see a spinning cube)

[pranphy]

Yes, I see a spinning cube. Although it complains that the support is incomplete.

[trevarj]

also can try cargo r --release --features winit --no-default-features
it did not work for me, but the error is different (X11 error)

[pranphy]

Yes, (X11) error now.

[Kethku]

I just pushed a change to main which causes neovide to prefer the discrete gpu over the integrated one. I have no idea if this would fix the issues you folks are running into but maybe give it a try?

[trevarj]

@Kethku I had modified that myself before, but it didn't seem to work. Tinkered for a while and gave up!

[Samyak2]

FWIW, I have the same issue on a laptop with no discrete GPU (only an integrated Intel iGPU).

[Kethku]

I'm going to look into what it would take to enable opengl for skia. I'm not going to make any promises, but it seems like it might be possible.

[Kethku]

Would folks here be willing to try the recent main branch? It introduces an opengl renderer which may be easier to run.

[chr0me-sh]

I've tried running the main branch (after experiencing the same panic as described in the issue). Output is as follows:

$ RUST_BACKTRACE=full ./neovide
Ignored client type property: "methods"
Ignored client type property: "attributes"
xdg_surface@19: error -1: invalid window geometry size
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  RUST_BACKTRACE=full ./neovide

Get the same error if I manually set the geometry with the --geometry argument as well.

[pranphy]

I compiled e730a54, ran fine with very few warnings.

Hi, I had the same issue, but was actually missing the Vulkan driver; Installed vulkan-intel and vulkan-mesa-layers and restarted.
Although the error:

Ignored client type property: "methods"
Ignored client type property: "attributes"
Ignored style attribute: "standout"
MESA-INTEL: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0

thread 'main' panicked at 'Could not create surface', src/renderer/rendered_window.rs:40:6

➜  ~ 

still shows when running from console (gnome-terminal) the issue is non-existant when running from app menu on Budgie-gnome on arch linux.

hope this helps.

same here (output is the same as comment above, so I'm not posting it again)

I tried both neovide and neovide-git with the same result.
it opens the window bot then closes immidiatly after without drawing anything (my WM makes space for the window but then the window closes)

I have a Nvidia GPU and a on-chip Intel GPU. I can fix this issue by removing the Intel ICD located somewhere in the /etc directory ( try to grep icd and `intel). This applies both for Vulkan and the new OpenCL backend.

[TomzBench]

Have same issue described here. I tried building with cargo r --release --features winit --no-default-features described above. Different error now. Not sure if this is helpful but thought i would share

I ended up reverting the main branch opengl change and pushed the code to the opengl branch instead. So any people with vulkan issues should try building from there instead
