X server crash using 410.66 with hardware opengl rendering

Graphics / Linux Linux

Hi, I am experiencing a problem with driver 410.66 on Quadro M2000. I use hardware opengl within MATLAB to make figures. However, both MATLAB and X server will crash with a simple ‘pcolor’ command within MATLAB. If I use software opengl rendering, there will be no problem. I have contacted MATLAB support and was told that this is likely an incompatibility issue from NVidia driver. Is there a solution to this problem?

There’s actually no error visible in the logs, did you create it right after the crash without rebooting?

The system crashed again, due to the same operation: hardware opengl command in MATLAB. The new log is attached. Thanks for any information you might have.

Those errors are from old logs from october, unrelated. There are no current Xorg logs included. Please run
sudo journalctl -b0 --no-pager _COMM=gdm-x-session >xorg.log and attach that.

It shows nothing in the xorg.log:

– No entries –

Also, there are lots of errors in the latest nvidia-bug-report.log file attached above. Any idea about these errors?

Thanks.

No errors from current logs. When it crashes, can you find /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and attach that?

Here it is.

That log is from november. I noticed one one error though, the libglx is rejected due to being too old. Please remove and reinstall the xorg server package.

Removing and reinstalling the Xorg server removed many programs that I installed, e.g., mate-desktop. This prompted me to reinstall the entire OS. Now with RHEL 7.6, 410.66 works fine with MATLAB 2018b and hardware opengl. No more X server crash. Just want to update this thread. Thanks for the suggestions.

Ok, a bit too late now but in case you hit a similar issue in future, package mangagers in general have a --nodeps option for that, to remove a package but not the dependencies. e.g.
rpm -e --nodeps to remove, followed by
rpm -i
to reinstall.
Glad you resolved your issue, anyway.
