System:

  • Windows 10 Host
  • Ubuntu 24.04 running in Oracle VM
  • Display set to VMSVGA

When I run the following:

glxinfo | grep OpenGL

I receive the following output:

MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev
glx: failed to create drisw screen
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 17.0.6, 256 bits)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 24.0.5-1ubuntu1
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 4.5 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 24.0.5-1ubuntu1
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.50
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL profile mask: compatibility profile
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 24.0.5-1ubuntu1
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20  
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

Can anyone shed any light on why I get the two errors:

MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev
glx: failed to create drisw screen

I've had a google and looked through the mesa packages but can't find anything useful.

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance.

For the updated Ubuntu version of 24.04, it seems like the mesa drivers aren't fixed. The way that I fixed it was from following this website. https://itsfoss.com/install-mesa-ubuntu/ It seemed to work after I downloaded the new mesa driver.

Summarizing from the link in this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/1517172

The Kisak-mesa PPA provides the latest point release of Mesa. You can use it by entering the following commands one by one in the terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
