DRM kernel driver 'nvidia-drm' in use. NVK requires nouveau

Hi, I am pretty new to nixos, I have created my first system, configuration can be seen here: nixos/hosts/default/configuration.nix at dde762cb453a9eae0d273ce09ecdcfb1485f64e2 · radek-stasta/nixos · GitHub

I have laptop with integrated gpu and Nvidia gpu and it seems that I have something somewhere badly configured. When I try to open Chrome for example, it takes around 2 minutes to open with many errors

DRM kernel driver 'nvidia-drm' in use. NVK requires nouveau. libva error: /run/opengl-driver/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so init failed

When I disable hardware acceleration in Chrome, it opens instantly without any problems. It happens also for example with Steam with exactly the same message. Is there something I can do?

Nvk is collabora’s fancy new open source vulkan driver. Recent kernels probably support it, but it should definitely not be loading if you set yoir driver to "nvidia". Is this your full config?

Yes, it is. You can look at the whole repository. There is also home.nix configuration for home manager, but nothing relevant there I think, only setting dotfiles and some settings for apps. Nothing relevant to nvidia

Any help please? Does anyone have the same issue or is it just my bad configuration?

Is this the same log line or two lines?

If this is just one line of log, this is probably a red herring. libva is not critical to chrome’s operation.

This is log after opening Chrome. Took from 8:53 to 8:56 to start:

Hm, interesting; NVK shouldn’t attempt to load here. Are you able to run vkcube and glxgears?

That looks about right.

What I think is notable is that your iGPU is enumerated before the dGPU in VK but not in OGL. That smells like something that could cause a conflict?

I’m not sure whether Chrome uses Vulkan in any way but I’d try forcing the nvidia VK device. VK likely has an env var for that or at least one to disable the Intel ICD.

Speaking of the iGPU, could you try running all of this on the iGPU without any dGPU involved?

Beyond that, I don’t think we can help any further as the issue is likely with the Nvidia driver. The NVK message appears to always be printed when drivers are enumerated.

Thanks for the hint. Can you please provide how to force nvidia VK device or how to run all on the iGPU? Or at least point me to where I can look for how to do it? Sorry, I am using nixos for about two weeks and I am still a learning noob

All of this probably has very little to do with NixOS itself.

As for the VK loader: Vulkan-Loader/docs/LoaderLayerInterface.md at f60412f5a62ab9c817355999d0858893db7d404b · KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader · GitHub

Ah, sorry; wrong doc. That’s layers, not drivers.

I have switched to zen kernel and it is slightly better. The errors are still there:

libva error: /run/opengl-driver/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so init failed

But at least it starts instantly, there are no nvidia errors in journalctl and I don’t need to wait three minutes

I have the same issue with multiple programs (rio terminal, a lot electron apps) running under Wayland. Did you solve this?

I have this as well, using a dedicated GPU (1070) and Plasma X11.

I found that mesa comes with a few vulkan ICDs by default, including the nouveau icd which vulkan is probably trying to load but failing since nouveau isn’t installed. You can limit things to only use the proprietary nvidia driver if you set VK_DRIVER_FILES=/run/opengl-driver/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.x86_64.json

Sadly no. The error is still there, but my problem was related to bug in Google Chrome itself, so this was false positive. Errors are sitll present but it seems it is not breaking anything for me, so I just live with it

I finally encountered this too, what are the chances this is the underlying bug: Unknown Display 31" detected in latest kernel+wayland+nvidia · Issue #302059 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

Basically, simpledrm is loaded as a second “card”, and lots of applications attempt to render with it, which results in this confusing error. It’s probably down to kernel config, see issue for more details, but this is a workaround for now:

hardware.nvidia.modesetting.enable = true;
boot.kernelParams = [ "nvidia-drm.fbdev=1" ];

I have the same issue, tried to install obsidian but somehow fail when starting it, tried to launch it with the VK_DRIVER_FILES=/run/opengl-driver/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.x86_64.json variable environment but fail to start, I try adding :

hardware.nvidia.modesetting.enable = true;
boot.kernelParams = [ "nvidia-drm.fbdev=1" ];

but fails too, and what’s even weirder is that somehow obsidian rarely success to start, why? I don’t know I litterally changed nothing to my environment between the two start session, not even rebooting.

There’s some related issues(I think) I found :

I think the issue is only related to chrome based app

Awesome, would be cool if you can deny my suspicion, there can obviously be other things causing this.

Among those two issues neither has more info that would suggest it is or is not the same thing I saw. The former is using wayland, which would have the same symptoms, the latter has no info at all.

Could you check if you have two cards?

$ ls /dev/dri
by-path  card0  card1  renderD128

Your nvidia driver version is also relevant, this was fixed in 545.23.06.

Also, just to be clear, if you change your kernel args you need to reboot for them to take effect.
