GPU Issues with Nvidia Drivers - OpenGL Errors in Firefox and Kitty

Hi everyone,

I’m encountering issues with GPU-based applications like Firefox and Kitty on my system. Both programs either crash or, in Kitty’s case, fail to launch. I'm using an Nvidia GPU with the latest drivers installed, and it seems that the problem is related to OpenGL.

Kitty gives me the following error:

[0.216] OpenGL error: There is not enough memory left to execute the command. (GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY) (calling function: glMapBuffer)

Similarly, Firefox crashes with what seems to be a related issue, and I found a bug report here

I suspect this could be related to the Nvidia drivers, but I’m not sure how to proceed, given that the latest version is installed.

Any advice or guidance on troubleshooting this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Re: GPU Issues with Nvidia Drivers - OpenGL Errors in Firefox and Kitty

There's little information here on what is actually happening. Which card, which "latest drivers" are at play exactly, is this a multi gpu system, wayland or xorg?

Post

glxinfo -B #mesa-utils
eglinfo -B

and a xorg log
