This is a duplicate of #9415
A common workaround is to use https://github.com/guibou/nixGL

[kephas]

Isn't a bug that this package's default state is to not run? Why not make GL-depending packages use nixGL by default?

Yes, it's a bug. My guess is that the problems would be that nixGL is inherently impure, or that adding it to every OpenGL package might require adding every possible driver into the closure.

[kephas]

Would it be a problem to include all drivers in the closure, and leave the choice at run time?

I marked this as stale due to inactivity. → More info

@AndersonTorres why close the bug? It's stale but the problem persists. calibre will run fine with the help of nixGL but not without, and there's no warning, documentation or helper script for that.

[AndersonTorres]

I believed it was already closed.

It was stalled for months, and it was more than one month for anyone notice this was closed.

Hello @kephas 👋

I tried to reproduce this issue, but I'm unable to do so. Can you confirm that this no longer an issue? If so, would you be able to close this issue?

(I'm going through issues marked as stale to see what can be resolved. If you are still experiencing this issue then don't mind me)

@patka-123 sorry for the late reply, but it's still true for me with /nix/store/glic4pdqdl2rs4xirc1j406hyd16mcfz-calibre-7.1.0:

$ nix-shell -p calibre --run calibre

(but it works great with nixGL)
