Nsight Graphics 2025.5 on Rocky 9

Developer Tools Nsight Graphics
1

Hello,

I upgraded to Rocky 9 and installed Nsight Graphics 2025.5. When I run Nsight Graphics, I get the window, but here appears to be very limited features. There is no API inspector, for example. The disconnect and terminate buttons are grayed out. I have the latest NVIDIA drivers.

Also, when I run my simple graphics application, I am not able to use any key or mouse inputs, so no graphics capture is possible.

Am I missing some dependency? I have everything installed that is mentioned on the Nsight Graphics website.

I get the same results if I run Nsight Graphics 2025.4.

Thanks in advance,

DC

Can you clarify the Activity you are running? Does the activity successfully attach to the application, as shown in the popup window when launching?

It’s an OpenGL window using OpenSceneGraph, rendering the cow model.

The application successfully attaches to the application. I can see the rendering with no errors. But there is no ability to capture (F11) or use the mouse in the rendered viewport. The terminate button is grayed out, as well as the disconnect button. Under Tools, I only see Output Messages, Project Explorer and Options.

In the lower right-hand corner of the whole window does it show the process name and PID of the attached process? It doesn’t seem like it’s fully attaching, but there may be something more going on.

Are you in Wayland or X11? Both should work, but if you’re in Wayland I’d be curious if you could try running in X11.

Also, can you confirm that you’re running the Frame Debugger activity?

Jonathon, I just left the office but will do what you asked on Monday. I am running X11. Thanks, DC

OK. Silly me. It wasn’t running the Frame Debugger. Works fine now.

Thanks.
