X-Plane does not run

thmUNIX · 2022-12-25 14:32:05

Recently I reinstalled Arch on my laptop. I have NVIDIA GeForce MX250 and Intel UHD 620 in my laptop. I installed NVIDIA drivers and some other NVIDIA-related packages. Then I installed `xf86-video-intel` because I need virtual displays. Firstly I tried to use `nvidia-xrun` because I used this script on previous install. It didn't work. Xorg just crashes with segfault. Then I tried prime-run and it worked great. X-Plane worked when I ran `prime-run ./X-Plane-x86_64`. Then I reinstalled `xf86-video-intel` and `mesa` because I had problems with virtual displays (found out that these packages were not the problem, I just made a typo when worked with xrandr and x11vnc). The next day X-Plane stopped working via `prime-run`, saying:
`Whoah -- no matter how hard I tried, I failed to get a GLX visual. Something's seriously wonky on your machine.` This message was showing up on previous install and I just used `nvidia-xrun` but now it's just segfaulting Xorg. I opened /usr/bin/nvidia-xrun to read what does it do and found out that it just modprobe's nvidia kernel modules and runs xinit, which I tried and it worked. But when I tried to run X-Plane (now without prime-run), I got the same message (Whoah ...).

P.S: prime-run glxgears -- works, so NVIDIA drivers are ok.

Please help me with this problem.

Intel UHD 620 in my laptop.

Intel processors with UHD 620 graphics were first released in Q3 2017 .

You DO NOT want xf86-video-intel on your laptop as that program works well with intel graphics before 2012 and creates problems with newer ones.

remove xf86-video-intel,
post the full xorg log as well as the outputs of

$ lspci -k
$ glxinfo -B    #comes with mesa-utils
$ prime-run glxinfo -B

Install mesa-utils if

Hello.
1) I have Intel Core i7-10510U with UHD 620.
2) The problem is I have /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf which contains:
Section "Device"
Identifier "intelgpu0"
Driver "intel"
Option "VirtualHeads" "2"
EndSection

Xorg won't start without xf86-video-intel with this config. And I need this config in order to have virtual displays (I use tablet as my second monitor with laptop). But I'd also like to point out that after deletion of xf86-video-intel and 20-intel.conf removal, nothing changes (maybe because xf86-video-intel has been installed earlier).

3) /var/log/Xorg.1.log (after nvidia-xrun openbox): https://pastebin.com/c0eirX4c
lspci -k: https://pastebin.com/UdmLLcr9
glxinfo -B (and also prime-run glxinfo -B): https://pastebin.com/SNXNJU1b

There are better ways to deal with multiple screens, usually randr / xrandr is the best choice as that works with 99% of all drivers.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multihead should help to determine how to achieve what you want without needing xf86-video-intel.

[  1317.441] (++) Using config file: "/etc/X11/nvidia-xorg.conf"
[  1317.441] (EE) Unable to locate/open config directory: "nvidia-xorg.conf.d"

The filename /etc/x11/nvidia-xorg.conf suggests it was autogenerated, probably by nvidia-xconfig .
Such files were useful when xorg didn't have autodectection (10+ years ago ..) , but nowadayas are useless at best and very often mess up systems.

get rid of it, then check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nvidia-xrun , configuration section and create the 30-nvidia.conf file that mentions.
