Picom doesn't start

Hi.

Picom doesn't start after today's system update. When starting, the program crashes and returns: `picom: symbol lookup error: picom: undefined symbol: glEGLImageTargetTexStorageEXT`.

How should I go about solving the problem?

Thanks.

xorg-server 21.1.4;
openbox 3.6.1;
picom 10;
nvidia-340xx-dkms 340.108.

Re: Picom doesn't start

for name in /usr/lib/libGL*.so ; do echo $name; nm -D $name | grep glEGLImageTargetTexStorageEXT; done

But the problem is likely "nvidia-340xx-dkms 340.108" - you may need to rebuild picom locally.
Does it work w/ the xrender backend?

It doesn't. I get the same error.

I manually built and installed picom-git from AUR. Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem — I still get the same error.

Re: Picom doesn't start

libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1 (0x00007fce32600000)
nm -D /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1 | grep glEGLImageTargetTexStorageEXT

You can probably build and run picom w/o the "opengl" option ("-Dopengl=false" meson configure flag)

Re: Picom doesn't start

seth I've built it with the option you specified. Now the program starts without any errors. But the reason I installed picom was to get rid of screen tearing in Firefox. When building with that option tearing remains intact, moreover now I observe significant stuttering when scrolling web pages in the browser. So, this is not the solution. Thanks, anyway.

You're NOT using OpenGL, expected behavior. Try opening an issue to Picom devs.

Re: Picom doesn't start

Tearing isn't really an expected behavior, the problem will originate w/ https://github.com/yshui/picom/commit/0 … 1e47fbadf3 and the missing "nm -D /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1 | grep glEGLImageTargetTexStorageEXT" would probably show that this symbol isn't anywhere to be found in the 340xx GL library.
However, I'd expect a local - even GL enabled - build to either fail or not stumble over this, hence there's probably a misconception reg. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p2068541

The specific issue is "glEGLImageTargetTexStorageEXT(GL_TEXTURE_2D, eglpixmap->image, NULL);", l263 in egl.c but there may be more.
Not sure whether upstream is gonna adjust for an EOL proprietary driver and even then you'd have to build picom yourself (because this is a linker error)

Edit: w/ the repo version, try

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib/libGL.so picom

or (less likely)

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so:/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1 picom

So this is a problem due to the old nVIDIA driver lacking new OpenGL specifications?

Due to lack in my knwoledge maybe this will be a wrong assumption: what if the OP fake the reported OpenGL version (MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=)?

Re: Picom doesn't start

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE is ignored by nvidias GL implementantion and it would still not add the missing symbol.
This isn't so much an OpenGL problem, but rather a "ABI incompatible library" problem.
GL is a random, insignificant element to that.
