Graphics corruption in flatpak and snap apps

Hello

I'm having some graphics corruption in Spotify (Flatpak) and Icedrive (Snap).

The corruption does not happen in "native" apps.

Some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/hPSezFE

I am using PRIME as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … offloading, using amgpu.

If I launch the apps with DRI_PRIME=1, the corruption doesn't happen.

$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8 Graphics (RAVEN, DRM 3.40.0, 5.12.2-arch1-1, LLVM 11.1.0)
$ DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon 500 Series (POLARIS12, DRM 3.40.0, 5.12.2-arch1-1, LLVM 11.1.0)

So, export DRI_PRIME=1 for those borked apps then, you found the fix.
There's not much we can do for stuff from flatpak or snap, its not managed by arch maintainers at all.

I see the same on GTK4 programs in Flatpak. I'm still trying to track it down.

Re: Graphics corruption in flatpak and snap apps

this seems to be an issue with mesa. Downgrading mesa and lib32-mesa to 21.0.3 and then logging out and back in fixes it

New mesa version doesn't fix it, unfortunately.
