Intel vulkan latest drivers issue

I have an intel B580 gpu and I experience some weird problems in some apps, like `nautilus` or the default terminal app.

An example here:

The issue is solved if I revert to `vulkan-intel-1:25.1.7-1`
The problem is not always present and I don't even know how to debug, maybe there are some conflicting packages on my machine

Re: Intel vulkan latest drivers issue

That looks more like a font issue then a vulkan issue, you'll have to describe what is wrong with it more clearly .

vulkan-intel is a part of mesa , did you only downgrade vulkan-intel and how did you downgrade it ?

Are you using X or wayland ?
Which display manager, window manager, dfesktop environment, compositor ?

Please post the output of lspci -k


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

I am using Wayland and Gnome.
for the compositor ChatGPT give me this cmd

➜  ~ ps -e | grep -E "picom|compton|mutter|kwin|weston|wayfire"

   2166 ?        00:00:00 picom <defunct>
   2759 ?        00:00:00 mutter-x11-fram

To downgrade I use

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/vulkan-intel-1:25.1.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 

It's very weird problem and I don't know the relation between so many graphics drivers that I should have, mesa, vulkan, OpenGL, intel oneapi....sorry.

Here is the screenshot with the output of `lpci -k` in the default terminal (kgx) https://imgur.com/a/Xu8lGEa

But I have another terminal installed (ghostty) and this command raise no problem.

Re: Intel vulkan latest drivers issue

I might be wrong but it seems that all GTK based apps have problems. I experience issues only in these apps, like Gnome settings, Gnome weather app, the default terminal.
Never experience this problem with Firefox, Discord, Telegram..

Re: Intel vulkan latest drivers issue

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.
That's actually common glyph rendering issue of HW accelerated clients (garbled glyph cache) - if you "export GSK_RENDERER=gl", do you still have this (despite the system fully updated)?

for the compositor ChatGPT give me this cmd

What and also wtf wrt the output…

loginctl session-status

and also please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

I put "export GSK_RENDERER=gl" into my .zshrc file and then log out, then log it again and the problem is the same.

Re: Intel vulkan latest drivers issue

I have no log file for Xorg, neither `~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log`, or `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`


maybe a few warnings from the Gnome weather app from journalctl help

Re: Intel vulkan latest drivers issue

Yeah, despite

2166 ?        00:00:00 picom <defunct>
   2759 ?        00:00:00 mutter-x11-fram

you're not running an X11 session (as proven by the session status - takeaway: don't ask some artificial idiocy for this stuff wink)

I put "export GSK_RENDERER=gl" into my .zshrc file and then log out, then log it again and the problem is the same.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Environment_variables - the zshrc will be parsed by zsh and even if zsh is your login shell that does not mean that gnome sees anything of this when you're starting it
You can

GSK_RENDERER=gl gtk4-demo

to apply it to that process and /etc/profile.d/* is typically parsed by everything. In doubt put it into /etc/environment (only "GSK_RENDERER=gl", no "export")

First of all, thanks for help and for the links, it's good to learn along the way.

I added the line

GSK_RENDERER=gl gtk4-demo

to the /etc/environment and then restart but unfortunately nothing change, same issues.

Tt might be just a problem with the latest vulkan drivers that might be fixed in the future so until then I should stick with what works, the older version ?

Re: Intel vulkan latest drivers issue

No, you'd just add "GSK_RENDERER=gl" there, then check "printenv" to see whether it got applied.
Do you also have issues w/ vkcube and the latest driver?

So, I just put "GSK_RENDERER=gl" in the "/etc/environment", restart, and now everything seems to work. Last time I tried to put "GSK_RENDERER=gl gtk4-demo" and it didn't worked.

Thank you very much for your help and for your time !

Now I am trying to understand what is the actual problem and if this is a temporar fix or I should forget about it and live with it.
From what I see, gl is the old renderer, https://blogs.gnome.org/gtk/2024/01/28/ … s-for-gtk/ probably more stable than the new one.

Re: Intel vulkan latest drivers issue

The point was to get that exported to GDM/mutter (what you've achieved \o/) and yes, though technically that's now what used to be ngl back in the day.
Can you run vkcube or "GSK_RENDERER=vulkan gtk4-demo" on the new intel-vulkan version?
