Google Chrome 94 on nVidia

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

Hello! As usual, with the new version of Chrome, graphics acceleration on nVidia stops working. It was working properly with version 93, now it stopped. This is how I start it:

prime-run google-chrome-stable --ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers --enable-oop-rasterization --enable-zero-copy

These are the errors I get:

* Accelerated video decode has been disabled, either via blocklist, about:flags or the command line.
*Disabled Features: video_decode*
* Gpu compositing has been disabled, either via blocklist, about:flags or the command line. The browser will fall back to software compositing and hardware acceleration will be unavailable.
*Disabled Features: gpu_compositing*

Intel works perfectly fine as usual. Version of nVidia drivers as reported by glxinfo is:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: Quadro M1200/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 470.63.01

Anyone able to run Google Chrome 94 on nVidia?
Thanks!

Works fine on supported configs.

What are these “supported configs”?

5

As per the official documentation: Appendix A. Supported NVIDIA GPU Products

Note that the list of supported GPU products provided below and on the driver download page is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system’s manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

If your laptop does indeed have a mux switch that allows you to completely disable the iGPU, then do that instead of prime.

Quadro M1200 is in that list it seems, isn’t it? And why would I want to disable the iGPU that consumes 1/10th of the nVidia GPU?

Did you not read what I just linked? Let me reference it again.

Did you read where I said that Chrome up to 93 was properly working? Do you mean that this configuration may work with some applications and not with others?
