fedora google-chrome.desktop[148077]: [155982:155982:1113/094424.009517:ERROR:gl_display.cc(497)] EGL Driver message (Error) eglGetMscRateANGLE: glXGetMscRateOML failed.

System logs are flooded with this error 3-4 time every second.

  • Fedora 41 GNOME all latest updates.

Added f41, gnome

Added chrome

There have been several issues with display on machines using nvidia gpus, (and possibly others). For some the fix has been to edit the file /etc/environment and add a line that reads GSK_RENDERER=ngl. For some it needed to read GSK_RENDERER=gl. The difference may have been related to the version of GPU installed.

After making that change reboot and test.

There seems to be a typo: the env. variable should read GSK_RENDERER.

OOPs
fixed.

I’m not sure on the specific issue, but I’m curious why something through EGL is trying to do something through GLX? It sounds like it should be using one or the other (on Firefox I can force GLX but lose video acceleration if not using EGL).

This page mentions using the --use-gl=desktop flag and adjusting the blacklist from chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist as a workaround.

The GSK_RENDERER env a few posts above may also be useful especially if you’ve used Fedora 40/older and didn’t see this happening.

Well, :frowning: I scraped that installation and installed KDE 41 Server with UI and no more flooding error messages.
