Blockbench Reports False GPU Incompatibility On Wayland

Open 4194304 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

What are you trying to do, and what do you expect to happen?

When opening Blockbench on Wayland, the expected result is for it to start normally without issue.

What happens instead?

When started, it gives a COMPLETELY false GPU incompatibility warning, which can be bypassed by clicking the "reload" button. Then the application functions "normally". image1 about-gpu-2024-06-22T02-19-14-900Z.txt Based on the logs, in the GPU report, it appears as if it isn't utilizing nvidia-drm (direct rendering manager), which I have enabled to get Wayland to work. When reload is pressed, only then it appears to utilize the kernel module.

This is most likely an issue with Chromium and the compatibility with your respective graphics drivers. Upstream issue: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/40366 Blockbench fixes this by manually clearing the GPU cache, but this requires a Blockbench restart.

This is related to #2356, I fixed it by updating the gpu blacklist & blocklist flags.
