Bug in Mesa 24.0.1

1

These flatpaks cause crashes if AMD Radeon driver is in use
runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/23.08 (system) runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default/x86_64/23.08-extra (system) and runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default/x86_64/23.08 (system)
These contain mesa 24.0.1. Mesa 24.0.1 has a bug in the AMD radeon driver

See radeon: Crash in radeon_bo_can_reclaim_slab (#10613) · Issues · Mesa / mesa · GitLab

Could these be replaced with flatpaks containing Mesa 24.0.2 ?

Work arounds 1) change to the amdgpu driver 2) remove 23.08 and use 22.08 which has the mesa 23.3.5 driver.

This was reported on a fedora discussion forum. The original poster thought it was s kernel issue. Some Flatpak AppsFail to Start (Crash) on Kernel 6.7.x - Fedora Discussion

This was first seen in Arch Linux were it caused Display Managers to crash so normal booting was impossible. Arch has since upgraded to the mesa 24.0.2 driver

A new version should be released soon:

It’s a different bug but the mentioned build should include 24.0.2 (Commits · release/23.08 · freedesktop-sdk / freedesktop-sdk · GitLab)

    Merge branch 'mesa-fix-codecs-23.08' into 'release/23.08' (current build)

See extensions/mesa/mesa-sources.yml: Add patch to fix shell crash in X11 (!18168) · Merge requests · freedesktop-sdk / freedesktop-sdk · GitLab and extensions/mesa/mesa-sources.yml: Add patch to fix shell crash in X11 (!18170) · Merge requests · freedesktop-sdk / freedesktop-sdk · GitLab

Hardware acceleration is broken on AMD on the latest mesa-extra (#1702) · Issues · freedesktop-sdk / freedesktop-sdk · GitLab necessitated a quick release with the codec fix, but it’ll probably be delayed until that patch gets merged too.
