550.40.07 - The NVIDIA driver was unable to open 'libnvidia-glvkspirv

Greetings.
Using 550-beta driver. Arch Linux. Using aur package for 550-beta-dkms.
Running electron app with --ozone-platform-hint=auto flag ( vesktop for example ), I got this error in my terminal:

Still happens at 550.54.14-1. I have this files installed at:
/usr/lib/libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.550.54.14 /usr/lib32/libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.550.54.14 Here for example brave error when i’m entering in brave://gpu:

I got errors about missing glvkspirv in brave, plasma 6 and probably more. LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.550.54.14 brave seems fix issue in brave atleast. Any suggestion why nvidia driver cannot find/load this?

Hello,
I got a similar error after updating the driver to 550.54.14 on Debian 12 “bookworm” when running applications with WINE (currently 9.3).
The exact message is

The NVIDIA driver was unable to open ‘libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.550.54.14’. This library is required at run time.

I found libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.550.54.14 under /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (I use both 32 and 64-bit architectures).

LD_PRELOAD didn’t work for me because WINE mixes 32-bit and 64-bit binaries calls. I either got WRONG CLASS ELF32 or WRONG CLASS ELF64 when I pointed LD_PRELOAD to the i386-linux-gnu or x86_64-linux-gnu files.

My solution was to create symlinks in those two directories, mimicking existing libnvidia libraries:

sudo ln -s libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.550.54.14 libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.1
sudo ln -s libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.1 libnvidia-glvkspirv.so

This fixed the issue for me with mixed architecture.

Regards.

4

So you put symlinks to apps directory, right?
I hope nvidia devs would look at this one day.

5

Hello,

No, I put the symlinks in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu and /usr/lib/x86-linux-gnu, alongside the original *.so.550.54.14 files.

In your case I guess it should be in /usr/lib and /usr/lib32.

This way it works globally for every application. It will break again on the next driver update and will need to be redone, though, until NVidia fixes it.

Regards.

Hello,

Still happens with driver 550.78.

The symlink workaround doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Regards.

7

Hello,

Still happens with driver 550.120.

The symlink workaround still doesn’t work anymore.

Starting wine with LD_DEBUG=libs shows that /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.550.120 is found and loaded, but it then fails later when loading /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.550.120.

So, I think it now finds the file without need of the *.so.1 or *.so symlink, but the driver fails to load the 32-bit library on 64-bit, or when the 64-bit library is already loaded.

But I don’t know how to get a useful debug output from the loading of the 32-bit library itself.

Regards.

Apologies for the delayed response, I have filed a bug [4882287] for tracking purpose.

Hi @dr.silens @boddyboy
I tried to duplicate issue locally on multiple systems with different OS combinations like Ubuntu, Arch Linux & Endeavor using Wayland protocol but did not observe repro.
I am able to open discord application with below command.
vesktop --ozone-platform-hint=auto

Do you have any other reliable repro steps or needed any specific configuration to trigger issue.

I moved to NixOS and I cannot replicate error on 560 driver also.
Might be it was electron/chromium issue that was fixed with updates?

While trying to replicate the issue, brave spamming with this error when video playing:

This error just flooding journal. DMABUF error might be kernel issue also…
Is this error reported somewhere, or should I create separate issue?

Error above looks like resolved on 565 beta driver.

Hello,

My OS is Debian 12 bookworm with the default Gnome-shell Xorg session.
I don’t use Wayland and I don’t know about vesktop.

My issue seems specific to WINE with virtual desktop enabled. I’ve never seen this error with any other program or without wine’s virtual desktop.
Also, the issue can’t be reproduced reliably. It happens about 1/4 times when I run a windows program within a WINE virtual desktop (e.g. winecfg).

Regards.

Oops, spoke too soon.

… the error no longer occurs, but doesn’t seem like an actual fix.

Hi All,
Can some one please try with latest 570.86.16 driver and share test results.

Hi @Tekstryder
I am still not able to duplicate issue locally, could you please share nvidia bug report so that I can try to match config setup as close as possible.
Also do let me know if there are any know config changes required on fresh Arch Installation setup to trigger issue.

Hi @amrits

Per your request I’ve reproduced this issue with a clean chromium install & user profile and I’ve attached a fresh nVidia bug report.

No configuration changes are required. If this is Wayland-specific issue (unknown), ensure you’re running a Wayland environment and launch chromium with –ozone-platform-hint=auto.

To reproduce:

  1. Install the chromium package
  2. launch chromium and visit the chrome://gpu/ page
