Description reports_go_brrr 2024-09-09 20:41:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
Certain applications like Veloren or Sniffnet or Blender (with experimental backend) are crashing only under Wayland. But with workaround like using variable `env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=` apps are working fine, as on X11. I use NVIDIA proprietary driver cause i sit under such graphics card.
If even Blender starts sometimes, it still finds it's way to crash KWin :( (luckily KWin restarts then)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Veloren or Sniffnet or Blender 4.3 Alpha with `--gpu-backend vulkan`

OBSERVED RESULT
Usually the reason is `WaylandSurface failed: ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`, but chech the attachements if you need more info.

EXPECTED RESULT
To make them work again on Wayland, as they work under X11 session :(

Please attach the backtrace of the crash, and the output of
> journalctl --user-unit plasma-kwin_wayland --boot 0
after triggering the issue.

About the applications crashing, that's a driver bug, please report it to https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-graphics/linux

Comment 9 reports_go_brrr 2024-09-26 18:41:45 UTC 
The problem is I didn't experienced this crash under COSMIC Wayland and GNOME Wayland sessions, only KDE Plasma Wayland does that.
Comment 10 Zamundaaa 2024-09-26 19:32:38 UTC 
I need a backtrace for kwin_wayland, not from the apps. You can get it with
> coredumpctl debug kwin_wayland

That doesn't matter, it's still a driver bug.

TL;DR: Use VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json environment variable.

Explained me well. I suspect Nvidia 555 series drivers invented this unwanted extra.
