Error on arm64 linux: X11GLXDrawableFactory - Could not initialize shared resources for X11GraphicsDevice

Greetings. I'm trying to track down a fix for this. I tried updating to the latest stable build of jogl but the nature of the error didn't seem to change. We've only seen this on our arm64 test system, other platforms work fine. Is there anything else I could track down to help debug? glxgears works on this system but I don't know what jogl test code would exercise the path that leads to this error. The

NvRmMemInitNvmap failed with Permission denied

****NvRmMemInit failed**** error type: 196626


*** NvRmMemInit failed NvRmMemConstructor

portion of the error also shows up in the etc/test.sh output from the jogamp-all-platforms package but whatever gets run there doesn't crash so that may be unrelated. Please let me know if any of the text output from that test script would be useful in diagnosing the issue.

Hello

If I were you, I would solve the permission problem first.

We were able to test on another system where the permission error did not occur. It looks like the same basic error still occurs, but the stacktrace is a little different in a way that might be helpful.

This is what is caught by our application's internal exception handler.

0x3008 means EGL BAD DISPLAY. Maybe try to use "-Djogl.disable.opengles". DuckDuckGo finds a similar stack trace here:
https://github.com/VirtualGL/virtualgl/issues/56

The problem is that it's a weak workaround. If you have only OpenGL-ES (no OpenGL), it won't be able to display something :s

Have you tried to run "unset DISPLAY"?

The application won't launch without display set (localhost:10.0 and :10.0 have the same behavior). "-Djogl.disable.opengles" didn't help.

We're constructing our GLCapabilities with the default profile (new GLCapabilities()). Should we set a profile explicitly? I checked out the docs (https://jogamp.org/deployment/v2.1.4/javadoc/jogl/javadoc/javax/media/opengl/GLProfile.html) but I'm not clear on which, if any of these, would be more likely to work for X11 on Arm64... or if this is a even a potential fix.

JOGL 2.1.4 is obsolete, please use JOGL 2.5.0.

I suspect that JOGL is not to blame. Do you succeed in running glxgears?

If glxgears doesn't work, you'll have to look for the root cause in your configuration or maybe the OpenGL-ES driver has a serious problem. Otherwise, please report a bug against JOGL, send me an email if you don't have a bugzilla account. You'll have to provide a lot more information about your operating system, your hardware, etc:
https://forum.jogamp.org/Bugreport-How-to-report-a-bug-td4042945.html

Since glxgears does work on this system I was trying to bundle up a small test case to submit to the tracker. But the mini-test worked every time. Turns out our application's launch script was setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT when it detected arm64. Apparently that was needed at some point in the past, but now, somehow, it causes this fault. Our visualization works when we don't set that variable. So I guess we're all good. Thanks very much for taking a look at this.

Thank you for the valuable feedback. LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT works with Mesa but not with Nvidia (you have to use another flag), it is intended to enable indirect rendering through GLX. Indirect rendering is generally less capable than direct rendering, use it only when you really need it.
