[Linux] Improve message 'There may be a problem with you graphics drivers and OpenGL'
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I get this message when I have latest drivers but everything else excepting Telegram is correctly working with OpenGL. Everyone is expecting that driver is managed by package managers like dnf or apt-get
But I have found what goes wrong here:
a) Telegram is launched inside flatpack sandbox. b) Flatpack is using it's own NVIDIA client driver packages. c) Flatpack has multiple client driver packages including outdated ones.
So I removed all extra flatpack packages leaving only one that is matching my driver version.
🎉 And finally it works! 🎉
Describe the solution you'd like
It takes me entire day to dig what is going wrong here. It was so frustrating.
Maybe you could improve error message, giving some hint to look into flatpack packages, because it is not obvious that flatpack is using own nvidia driver client packages.
Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives are needed here.
