Wezterm crashing on wayland on nvidia

Help
1

my nvidia config
wezterm doesnt launch, it instead gives an error in a notification.
so i ran wezterm through gnome-console and this is the error

2

Does it run with this?

__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/run/opengl-driver/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json wezterm

If yes, you could wrap the wezterm executable in that env var. Alternatively, you can try using config.enable_wayland = false in the config.

this command worked but it caused Wezterm to not draw from the dGPU.
and i do wish to keep using wayland,
wezterm works on latest peopreitary drivers though.
this issue arose when i pinned the nvidia driver to an older version as you might remember from another thread from yesterday.

In that case, you might want to try unpinning the driver and use the recent stable one, instead, as the cause of your problem was the env variable, not the original issue in the thread, I assume.

the system crashed when i didnt have those env variables set too, setting them just increase the frequency, testing the pinned driver now, would report if i get any panic on this and try the stable w/o that var.
should i seek help in the wezterm’s github repo?

You mean unpinned. Try:

package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.stable;

I don’t think you should since similar issues already exist, like this one.

nono, i meant " i am testing the pinned driver rn" but its alright
