Ubuntu 20.04.2 kernel 5.10.0-rc6 wayland and gpu questions

Hi,

I cloned the fenix repository and build a mainline ubuntu focal minimal image, got it into the emmc as described here: Making Fenix images in Github

Now I’m trying to get wayland to work or xorg with at least some kind of hardware acceleration. As I understand from other posts about it, it should be more or less working with wayland. However, I can’t start anything with wayland, I’m starting to believe that maybe I’m missing a package or something.

Installed packages:

When I try to start wayland:

# glmark2-wayland
Error: main: Could not initialize canvas
Segmentation fault

And with sway:

2021-02-21 18:28:14 - [backend/session/logind.c:759] Failed to get seat id: No data available
2021-02-21 18:28:14 - [backend/session/direct-ipc.c:35] Do not have CAP_SYS_ADMIN; cannot become DRM master

2021-02-21 18:28:14 - [sway/server.c:47] Unable to create backend

I can start X, but when I start firefox I get:
Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[0][GFX1-]: glxtest: libEGL initialize failed (t=0.990011) [GFX1-]: glxtest: libEGL initialize failed

(It starts tho)

glmark2-es2 also fails with:

Error: eglGetDisplay() failed with error: 0x3000
Error: eglGetDisplay() failed with error: 0x3000
Error: main: Could not initialize canvas

I had the impression that wayland was/is better than xorg, but I just can’t seem to get it working. Am I missing a package or should I try to compile something from git? if so what would it be?

My main goal here is just to get as much of it working as possible, I can just use X as it is, but it seems that I’m not getting as much as this hardware can provide, if possible, I’d like to close that gap.

@clort76 could you help out here ?

@manuel-arguelles Hello , you just need to build a image with fenix . Don’t need to reinstall mesa , glmark2-es2 work fine .

That’s exactly what I did, the image was built and is here: Update main.yml · manuel-arguelles/fenix@a0a1b2e · GitHub

However, the only difference is that your is gnome and I choose minimal, that’s why I thought that maybe I’m missing some packages (there’s no wayland nor xorg in the minimal version).

I guess I could try to go over the build scripts and try to spot the difference.

In the meantime and since you have it already running, could you please paste your lsmod output? Thanks

Please use the gnome configurations. You can’t install gnome desktop based on the minimal image. There are mamy packages need to be installed, and you CAN NOT use the original mesa packages. There are many work need to do if you don’t use Fenix to build the gnome image. If you want to know what need to do, please check the Fenix source code.

When I try to start wayland:

# glmark2-wayland

I’m a bit confused by your post:

  • glmark2-wayland does not start wayland, it runs under wayland
  • the # prompt seems to indicate you are launching glmark2 as root. I don’t think it’s advisable to run glmark2 as root. I start wayfire as user and run glmark2 benchmarks as user.

I’m afraid I can’t think of any more helpful feedback. Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks @clort76 and @numbqq, and sorry for the late reply. Just for closure, I built an image of ubuntu focal with mainline kernel/u-boot minimal.

I went with minimal installation because I’m not a xfce, kde nor gnome user. Going with the gnome version and then remove the packages that I don’t want doesn’t seem right to me. I prefer to start with a minimal installation and then add what I use.

After checking the fenix build scripts I realized that the gpu packages are not installed for minimal nor server versions. But the scripts are very well done, nicely ordered and navigating around them was a pleasant experience.

What I was missing were the recent mesa packages, I just installed them all from @numbqq repository at mesa_debs/focal/arm64/mesa at master · numbqq/mesa_debs · GitHub and after that sway started nicely and so far it seems to be going just fine.

I haven’t used it much (due to lack of time), still need to install a bunch of packages.

Anyways, thanks for the support and for Fenix, it’s very cool and the idea of building everything from a docker container was brilliant!
