GLX app crashes with remote ssh, OK locally

I have two nearly identical machines, running Fedora 28 (4.17.14-202.fc28.x86_64) with nvidia 396.51 driver. Each machine runs glxgears locally, but with remote ssh from one machine to the next I get:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 33
Current serial number in output stream: 34

Many other glx-related applications crash. I’ve been told that nouveau driver does not have this problem.

I’m not sure how the reply #2 helps. I can’t share the desktops, the workstations belong to the different users, each running their own programs. I do need to enable users to run the programs on other machines occasionally.

The problem seems like a bug of nvidia, in the way nvidia driver interacts with the GLX libraries.

If you really want to use indirect glx, you have to enable it in xorg.conf

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AllowIndirectGLX" "on"
    Option "IndirectGLX" "on" 
EndSection

YMMV

Thank you!

Tried that. Same problem. Below is my Xorg.1.log

Is the xserver started with -listen tcp directive? Is the remote host added to xhost control list or do you use ssh -Y, i.e. does normal remote X work, can you run xrandr? If so, does glxinfo work? Does the remote user have access to /dev/nvidia* and /dev/dri/* ?

  1. xserver is not started with -listen tcp directive, at least explicitly.
  2. I use ssh -XY. Normal X works, I can open non-glx apps
  3. glxinfo works.
  4. Remote user has access to /dev/nvidia* and /dev/dri/* .

Narrowing it down: I can run glxgears remotely between the machines with nvidia drivers. I CANNOT run glxgears from remote Xorg machine to local nvidia machine. Moreover, when I reload nvidia driver on the local machine with --no-opengl-files option, I CAN run glxgears from remote Xorg machine to local nvidia machine. But it is not an option for me, as some applications require nvidia glx library, and crash otherwise.

From Xorg.log, remote machine:

[2618323.902] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so

That’s expected. You need matching GLX implementations on local and remote machine for indirectGLX to work.

More correct: the application on the remote machine is using the OpenGL implementation on the remote machine which is using the GLX implementation on the client machine. OpenGL and GLX vendors have to match.
