Kube flatpak not working with nvidia drivers

Posted on: October 11th, 2017 by

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Unrecognized OpenGL version
Unrecognized OpenGL version

As it turns out this is a problem with the extension system of flatpak that is used to provide the appropriate graphics driver to the application inside the container. It’s not quite clear what the best solution to the problem will be, but we’re working on it.
