Nvidia-DRM Issue: Missing nvidia-drm_dri.so on Arch Linux

hiracat · 2023-08-31 22:31:48

I am having an issue where obsidian is not working with hardware acceleration, when launching from the command the output is this

$obsidian

2023-08-31 22:24:18 Latest version is 1.4.5
2023-08-31 22:24:18 App is up to date.

i have mesa installed and i have electron installed, I am using the nvidia-dkms drivers. Most of the files that is not finding i dont have in that folder

$ls /usr/lib/dri
crocus_dri.so  d3d12_dri.so  i915_dri.so  iris_dri.so  kms_swrast_dri.so  nouveau_dri.so  r300_dri.so  r600_dri.so  radeonsi_dri.so  swrast_dri.so  virtio_gpu_dri.so  vmwgfx_dri.so  zink_dri.so

Sorry if this is irrelevant or something i just don't want to provide not enough information and i don't know what is relevant. I also dont want to go messing around with permissions as i am not very experienced yet as i figured
that arch would be the fastest way to learn and i dont mind if i break something and have to even reinstall

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

◉ pacman -F nvidia-drm_gbm.so                    
extra/nvidia-utils 525.89.02-1
    usr/lib/gbm/nvidia-drm_gbm.so

However cannot open shared object file: Permission denied does not mean that the file isn't there.

stat /usr/lib/gbm/nvidia-drm_gbm.so

If that doesn't suggest that you did something very stupid to the system, this will be a problem w/ the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obsidian-bin (I guess?) appimage installation

hiracat · 2023-09-01 17:17:53

Do you know how to fix the permissions for the nvidia-drm_gbm.so file because it does exist and i think i have read and execute permissions on the file

$ stat /usr/lib/gbm/nvidia-drm_gbm.so
  File: /usr/lib/gbm/nvidia-drm_gbm.so -> ../libnvidia-allocator.so.535.104.05

I am using the obsidian in the extra repo it is not from the aur.
The /usr/lib/dri/nvidia-drm_dri.so does not exist I looked.

$ stat /usr/lib/dri/nvidia-drm_dri.so
stat: cannot statx '/usr/lib/dri/nvidia-drm_dri.so': No such file or directory

As for doing something stupid with my system I don't think I did anything wierd. I also reinstalled everything related to nvidia and it did not fix it.

seth · 2023-09-01 19:25:35

stat /usr/lib/libnvidia-allocator.so.535.104.05

But assuming the file exists and has normal permissions

pacman -Qikk nvidia-utils

the problem will the the context in which obsidian runs (and eg. whether you're using a flatpak/docker thing or firejail etcetc)

How did you install the program?
Is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/obsidian-bin the relevant package at all?

hiracat · 2023-09-01 19:33:38

This is the package i used to install it https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/obsidian

I have no clue why this is not working, should i just make myself the owner of that file the only problem is that i feel like that is a bad idea

2023-08-31 22:24:15 Loading updated app package /home/forest/.config/obsidian/obsidian-1.4.5.asar

The version in repos is 1.3.7 so it seems obsidian ran some kind of autoupdate .

I also noticed it uses electron, output of pacman -Qs electron ?

hiracat · 2023-09-02 15:21:14

$ pacman -Qs electron
local/electron 1:25-1
    Meta package, always depends on the latest stable Electron build
local/electron25 25.6.0-1

I reinstalled obsidian with #pacman -Rns obsidian and the installed it again and i ran a full system upgrade and i reset obsidians config files and it still is not working
running a full system update does not fix it
I am running version 1.4.5 of obsidian which is the latest version

seth · 2023-09-02 15:31:58

I am running version 1.4.5 of obsidian which is the latest version

We can see that, but it doesn't answer the critical question.

pacman -Qs obsidian

Gee, I wonder what that edit was

So if you've installed 1.3.7, where does 1.4.5 come from?

type obsidian
pacman -Qikk obsidian

Sorry i thought i had done it already anyway here

I am using the one from the official repos, not from the aur, i will try and see if switching to that one fixes it

hiracat · 2023-09-02 16:18:29

Nope
still the same output

The error is actually from electron, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=280800
Are you trying to run this on a wayland or X11 session? (And does the other work)

hiracat · 2023-09-02 16:59:04

wayland and i cant get xorg to work i will tell you when i do

seth · 2023-09-02 19:50:59

i cant get xorg

You can open a new thread about this if you need help; whether this is a wayland exclusive problem is going to be rather relevant.

hiracat · 2023-09-02 20:30:54

i created a new one here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=288525 i spent a while trying to figure it out by my self but i cant
