Mpv - OpenGL doesn't work with the proprietary Nvidia driver

[aidanharris]

OS: Gentoo
Kernel: 4.14.40-gentoo

nogroups seems to cause this for some reason. Commenting it out as follows fixed my issue:

# Firejail profile for mpv
# This file is overwritten after every install/update
# Persistent local customizations
include /etc/firejail/mpv.local
# Persistent global definitions
include /etc/firejail/globals.local

noblacklist ${HOME}/.config/mpv
noblacklist ${HOME}/.netrc

# Allow python (blacklisted by disable-interpreters.inc)
noblacklist ${PATH}/python2*
noblacklist ${PATH}/python3*
noblacklist /usr/lib/python2*
noblacklist /usr/lib/python3*

include /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
include /etc/firejail/disable-devel.inc
include /etc/firejail/disable-interpreters.inc
include /etc/firejail/disable-passwdmgr.inc
include /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc

include /etc/firejail/whitelist-var-common.inc

apparmor
caps.drop all
netfilter
#nodbus # Commented out so mpv-mpris works
#nogroups # Commented out because the proprietary nvidia driver doesn't play nicely

I have no issues on my laptop (a Dell XPS 13) which uses Intel graphics so feel free to close this issue (not sure what your stance is on reporting issues with profiles but at least this gives other people that might also have this problem something to search for).

Does commenting noroot instead of nogroups also work?

noroot is known to cause issues with the NVIDIA proprietary driver

to workaround in all profiles echo "ignore noroot" >> /etc/firejail/globals.local

I experience the same with palemoon on intel video, removing nogroups fixed it.

I'm actually getting this issue no matter how I call mpv (whether inside of firejail or outside of it). The output looks something like this:

[vo/gpu] Could not set GLX context!
[vo/gpu/x11] X11 error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
[vo/gpu/x11] Type: 0, display: 0x7f1d1023e200, resourceid: 2600002, serial: 80

mpv -vo vdpau seems to help for me (whether inside or outside of firejail).
[edit] never mind, I had a separate issue with opengl.

It maybe no related, but I got some error message too using nouveau and i915 (dual gpu) with electrum

libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
 libGL error: failed to create dri screen

QXcbConnection: XCB error: 2 (BadValue), sequence: 603, resource id: 600, major code: 130 (Unknown), minor 
....

The window login will be buggy (transparent) and the QXcbConnection error will prompt every seconds as long I don't resize a bit the window using alt+ right mouse click.

Parameters used

--seccomp
--caps.drop=all
--machine-id
--nonewprivs
--no3d
--noroot
--nogroups
--novideo
--noprofile
--nosound
--notv
--nodvd
--private=~/electrumjail/
--private-dev
--private-tmp
--disable-mnt
--ipc-namespace
--netfilter \

Removing noroot, nogroups, novideo, private-dev, private-tmp, no3d doesn't fix this bug. I haven't seen this bug with another app so far.

@g3ngr33n Did you comment on the wrong issue? mpv doesn't have a login window or use Qt.

Let's document this and close.
