gamescope doesn't run on NVIDIA

[severinkaderli]

I'm trying to run glxgears inside gamescope:
gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -- glxgears

and I get the following output:

No CAP_SYS_NICE, falling back to regular-priority compute and threads.
Performance will be affected.
vulkan: selecting physical device 'NVIDIA GeForce 940MX'
vulkan: physical device supports DRM format modifiers
vulkan: physical device has no render node
Failed to initialize Vulkan

The kernel parameter: nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is set.

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX
NVIDIA version: 515.43.04
Gamescope version: 3.11.31.beta4.r6.g97288b8-1
Distribution: Archlinux

[MabaKalox]

Try (1st line of logs complains about it):
# setcap 'cap_sys_nice=eip' /usr/bin/gamescope
With root privileges.
Keep in mind open issue: #492

[LethalManBoob]

Using gamescope-git on my archlinux build it does work.
However the frame rate is reduced to near unplayable levels on all titles tested from dying light to half life and they all excibit horrid screen tear.
Edit: gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -- vkquake works fine and performance is good with no tearing.
I get the same issues as noted above if I use gamescope from lutris. It also locks my res to 640x480. changing res forces it to 1080p and gives me issues once again. i am using hdmi 2.1 if it matters

[MabaKalox]

@LethalManBoob I guess better to put this report into #492, instead of this issue.

Seems like the same issue here.

Yes, also facing same issue, same settings and nvidia drivers, same distro.

[ranisalt]

Also having this issue with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile on Arch Linux running master

Edit: not the same, I actually get

vulkan: vkCreateDevice failed (VkResult: -7)

[franzmondlichtmann]

Same issue here, also with mobile GPU.

That version is too old, it's missing the NVIDIA fixes.

[franzmondlichtmann]

Configuration like in my post above (Laptop GPU, using NVIDIA Prime), except: Gamescope git Version from 18.05.2022

Update: Ran the same command with prime-run:

(Is prime-run even necessary with gamescope?)

[Samsagax]

Configuration like in my post above (Laptop GPU, using NVIDIA Prime), except: Gamescope git Version from 18.05.2022 Output of gamescope -Y -- glxgears shows no gears. Get this error message: "Error getting buffer", from this log:

Seems like the same as this bug #498
I made it somewhat work in nested mode by setting nvidia prime variables, i.e:
$ __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only gamescope -e -f -- steam
And games launched that way will be rendered by the Nvidia card (checked with nvidia-smi).
Embedded mode doesnt work, no matter if those variables are set.

[LethalManBoob]

If anyone wonders. The chaotic aur version of gamescope-git is what I used. Usually chaotic aur is more up to date than the -git foundi n the normal aur

[franzmondlichtmann]

Was testing, like suggested from Samsagax, but with -Y flag because of Nvidia GPU:
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only gamescope -Y -- glxgears

Still same error like in my last post:
error getting buffer

And: Window with Gears is NOT showing

Setup is still the same, like in my last post: (Gamescope git Version from 18.05.2022, Nvidia 3050 Laptop GPU)

I believe to get past that error you need to use the gamescope-git package, right now. The last comment I saw you make mentioned gamescope 3.11.30-1 but the fixes for NVIDIA were in 3.11.31 Although, I think I had an address boundary error and not just core dumped for the last line. You should also run setcap 'cap_sys_nice=eip' /usr/bin/gamescope .

I had this issue too, switching to the gamescope-git version of the package solved the issue.

I have a GTX 1060 6gb and it seems to work.

running optimus with intel

[somewhatfrog]

weirdly enough it runs with ENABLE_VKBASALT=1
i.e.:

ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 gamescope -h 1058 -H 1800 -U vkcube

but it locks cursor inside the window and stutters from time to time

[taylor85345]

I am seeing the same output as @severinkaderli after removing Optimus Manager from my system. I am on Garuda and just replaced their garuda-optimus-manager-config package with garuda-nvidia-prime-config, and now gamescope refuses to launch with prime-run variables. I compared the two packages and tried to find any other variables, but Optimus Manager seems to be doing something that Gamescope requires to work on my system.

Optimus setups are a different kind of animal (and they seem to be forgotten by NV). Try the suggested variables setting in #498 I managed to get it working on the nested case.

[taylor85345]

The referenced variables are set by the prime-run script that I mentioned. Gamescope actually runs through my intel iGPU if I don't set those variables, except for the color corruption referenced in #356, but crashes entirely if I try to run on Nvidia via prime.

[tmespe]

Having the same issue on Fedora, but using Wayland. Works fine under X11.

[Arcitec]

As explained here, I have tried NVIDIA driver 515.57 on Wayland (GNOME 42, GBM backend) with both the latest gamescope git and a specific commit that was said to work. Neither works. I get the "DRM format 0x3231564E" error as everyone else.

#492 (comment)

This is some kind of regression. That exact format was supported by NVIDIA on an earlier gamescope build or earlier NVIDIA driver. Not sure if the regression is in NVIDIA driver or in gamescope.

I've already verified that the modeset flag is set: cat /proc/cmdline | grep nvidia-drm.modeset=1

You can see some other user's log here which shows that the exact format WAS supported in whatever NVIDIA driver and gamescope version they used back then: #492 (comment) (Or perhaps they were running it on X11 and it's Wayland version that's broken? No idea.)

[taylor85345]

perhaps they were running it on X11 and it's Wayland version that's broken?

In my case I am trying to run in Wayland, but I have verified that it is broken in X11 (bspwm) as well

this is what it currently prints here.

I see, thanks, it does load now (gamescope -- vkcube) but I'm unable to interact with the window (eg. resizing it) as it causes the system to hang for a bit and I have to force the program to quit
if I add any other command (eg. gamescope --fullscreen -- vkcube) the program immediately crashes and causes the system to hang
it outputs:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
 Warning:          Unsupported maximum keycode 708, clipping.
                   X11 cannot support keycodes above 255.
gamescope: ../src/rendervulkan.cpp:1514: void CVulkanDevice::wait(uint64_t, bool): Assertion `0' failed.
(EE) failed to read Wayland events: Broken pipe

It also spammed the logs with
vblankmanager: write failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

When running the command one time, it displayed the first image of the vkcube fullscreen, froze and hung the entire system for ~5 minutes until I was put back at the login menu

Same for me with gamescope --fullscreen -- vkcube
#651 (?)

But I was able to switch to next plasma virtual desktop and kill it via xterm. Usually using them instead of Alt+TAB.
Had no Alt+TAB problems ever in games.
I'm used to do Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2, ...

[ghost]

I see, thanks, it just seems that gamescope isn't really useable for me in it's current state with NVIDIA

gamescope --nested-height 1440 --nested-width 2560 --output-height 2160 --output-width 3840 --filter fsr --fsr-sharpness 15 --

I assume since there's no fullscreen that's why the current output is 1440 by 2560, which makes no difference as to just running it at that resolution

Also having this issue with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile on Arch Linux running master

Edit: not the same, I actually get

vulkan: vkCreateDevice failed (VkResult: -7)

I've managed to fix VkResult: -7 by using Vulkan Validation Layers

[pchome]

@raresgmihalcea

I've managed to fix VkResult: -7 by using Vulkan Validation Layers

lol

$ grep '\-7' /usr/include/vulkan/vulkan_core.h
    VK_ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT = -7,

Which is either VK_EXT_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_DMA_BUF_EXTENSION_NAME (if not in modeset=1) or VK_EXT_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXTENSION_NAME (on some nv gpus), AFAIK.

EDIT: well, the VK_KHR_MAINTENANCE_5_EXTENSION_NAME too in current git (which, according to gpuinfo, currently supported only by nv vulkan beta drivers)

[LethalManBoob]

Anyone else having it crash every other boot? I can make gamescope work fullscreen on kde but ever other boot it just fails even if i close all running gamescope tasks

[kekkoudesu]

Here's a weird one:

I'm on Fedora 38, KDE. I just built the Gamescope binary, and i tried it out with vkcube. I get a black window and then it crashes, but I have to kill it with pkill gamescope -9:

I tried passing gamemoderun to gamescope after seeing this, but nothing changed. So, it would seem to me...that the Lutris Runtime has some library I need that I don't know about. I guess I need to poke around ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime to see what libraries I need to install. There are 130 pinned Ubuntu 18.04 x64 libraries.

@LethalManBoob
I've just updated my nvidia-fix branch, which has a workaround for the current nvidia driver bug w/ gamescope, to the latest git revision of gamescope.
I've tested my building and running gamescope from my branch w/ nvidia, and it seems to work as long as you set ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 (e.i. ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope <params> -- <game>)
if you're using hybrid graphics, you'll have to run gamescope like so: ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope --prefer-vk-device $(env MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=list vulkaninfo) <params> -- <game>

to build from my branch:

git clone https://github.com/sharkautarch/gamescope.git
cd gamescope
git checkout nvidia-fix
meson setup -Dc_args="-Wno-uninitialized -Wno-maybe-uninitialized" -Dcpp_args="-Wno-uninitialized -Wno-maybe-uninitialized" --reconfigure build
ninja -C build
meson install -C build

[Rdeisenroth]

@sharkautarch i tried your fix branch, but:

• following your steps i had to run git submodule update --init --recursive after the git pull in order to fetch the submodules or it wouldn't build
• i also get the freezing described by others after a short while in every game i tested so far, with the log spamming:
  vblankmanager: write failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
  i run with something like ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamemoderun gamescope -r 144 -- glxgears

@Rdeisenroth
Huh...
what nvidia driver are you using?
there may or may not be an issue with the nvidia 545 driver...
One person said that my branch was able to run after switching to 535 dkms driver
Another person said it actually worked fine w/ the 545 driver...

Nvidia is one heck of a weird gpu on linux, amirite!

I just updated the nvidia-fix branch (pulling in newer upstream gamescope commits)
Maybe rebuilding gamescope now might help? idk

Your Wayland compositor does NOT support wp_presentation/presentation-time which is required for VK_KHR_present_wait and VK_KHR_present_id.
Please complain to your compositor vendor for support. Falling back to X11 window with less accurate present wait.

I assume you're running on wayland?

hmmm that probably isn't supposed to happen normally????

wlserver: [xwayland/server.c:108] Starting Xwayland on :2

hmmm maybe this line, plus the quoted line above it could just be due to a previous gamescope session that didn't exit properly????

Can you confirm that you still get said lines in your terminal after following these steps and then re-running gamescope:

• if you do nvidia-smi, do you see any processes (besides, say, your normal DE session if applicable)
• and if so, try killing said processes
• also doing ps -aux | grep '[g]amescope|[r]aze' and killing any process you find from that command

What version is your nvidia driver? is it 545 or 535?

[Rdeisenroth]

@Rdeisenroth Huh... what nvidia driver are you using?

@sharkautarch
I am using 545.29.06.

Nvidia is one heck of a weird gpu on linux, amirite!

Absolutely. I regret my RTX 4080. Should've bought AMD. But i do need some of the proprietary features of team green 😢

See: #948 (comment)

and see: #948 (comment)

Hmm idk i can't get it to work with 545, it always freezes after a while. I will test 535 and other WMs tomorrow. I am using Hyprland with xorg-xwayland-explicit-sync-git package.

Please complain to your compositor vendor for support. Falling back to X11 window with less accurate present wait.

@Rdeisenroth:
Hmm idk i can't get it to work with 545, it always freezes after a while. I will test 535 and other WMs tomorrow. I am using Hyprland with xorg-xwayland-explicit-sync-git package.

LethalManBoob: updated
╰─>$ ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0 gamescope -- raze
No CAP_SYS_NICE, falling back to regular-priority compute and threads.
Performance will be affected.

@LethalManBoob Are you using nvidia driver version 545?

I wonder if the issue w/ nvidia-fix not working is an issue of nvidia+gamescope being used w/ a wayland DE?
idk...

@akay you said that nvidia-fix + switching to nvidia 535 dkms driver worked for you... Do you use a wayland or X11 DE?

I'm using nvidia dkms 535 on xfce (x11) and the nvidia-fix branch of gamescope is working for me

[akay]

@akay you said that nvidia-fix + switching to nvidia 535 dkms driver worked for you... Do you use a wayland or X11 DE?

I use Sway, so Wayland on wlroots:

Yeah, so it seems like nvidia 545 might not work well w/ gamescope nvidia-fix branch

[LethalManBoob]

Yeah, so it seems like nvidia 545 might not work well w/ gamescope nvidia-fix branch

nvidia-fix needs a fix for nvidia B)

[sharkautarch]

nvidia-fix needs a fix for nvidia B)

well, since the bug that necessitated the nvidia-fix branch is actually a bug in the nvidia driver itself, it would be more appropriate to say:

nvidia needs a fix for nvidia-fix
(and they also need a fix for gamescope)

[sergiotca]

Has anyone had a chance to test if the newly nvidia driver 550.54.14 has solved this issue?

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/218826/en-us/

[gulafaran]

i just tested to run it on 550.40.07 with gamescope-git rebuilt, havent tried it in a while and vkcube shows now. this is on a prime/optimus setup

[kulothunganug]

Same issue, i have set nvidia modeset and setcap

using gamescope from aur
