It looks like this version installed yesterday broke hardware acceleration. I tested with vivaldi-snapshot and it was still working, so it doesn’t appear to be a Kernel/Nvidia driver issue.

I first saw the issue when I joined a game on Roll20.net:

totallyNotAnalytics.bundle.js:3 Error in program linking:Program binary could not be loaded. Binary is not compatible with current driver/hardware combination. Driver build date Aug 1 2023. Please check build information of source that generated the binary.

The app worked fine once I disabled hardware acceleration. I then installed vivaldi-snapshot, and had no issues with the site with hardware acceleration.

As this seems to be tied to one of the WebGL plugins, I’m not sure video playback via Youtube is affected.

I visited chrome://gpu on each browser, and there are very slight differences:
Edit: I’m blind, it’s 5am, those two were the same.

And then down in the logs at the bottom of the vivaldi gpu page is all of the errors:

324890:324890:0816/042747.357320angle_platform_impl.cc(48)] : ProgramGL.cpp:985 (checkLinkStatus): Program link or binary loading failed: Program binary could not be loaded.

At work now, so can’t test, will have a go when I get home.

[joekamprad]

you do edit this output manually or is this any other tool and not inxi?

[xircon]

Just an alias function:

gfx () {
	str="Session type: $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" 
	boxp $str 1 green
	\inxi -s | grep "System" | awk {'print $3, $4, $5'}
	nvidia-smi -q -d temperature | grep -i "GPU Current" | xargs
	\inxi -G$1
}

boxp is a python script I wrote to pretty-up my scripts:

catp /usr/bin/boxp   
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

##Global variables: Tmp Hook, Hook, Temporary output file:

looking nice!
could get the next-neo-fetch

I’m also able to reproduce the WebGL issue with Google Maps.

Though no issues in Google Maps with vivaldi-snapshot.

[xircon]

Or here:

But:

webgl demo (opera):

[BaconIsAVeg]

Also incredibly weird, I tested all of the WebGL samples fine, however in the same session Google Maps will still throw errors and refuse to render the map view (though Satellite view seems to work fine). I’ve also tried Private Windows and Disabling plugins.

Also, all of the examples on threejs I tested worked fine as well (how amazing is https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_animation_keyframes ? what am I doing with my life …)
