High CPU usage: libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

[Master811129]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and found none matching what I'm reporting.

Bug Description

The CPU goes crazy when the app runs its animations. Looks like the snap-store does not use my NVIDIA GPU and relies on software rendering, which results in high CPU usage.

My terminal emulator spits this: libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Open snap-store
2. Click on anything that have animations.
3. High CPU usage (100%)

Expected behavior

Moderate CPU usage on running animations

Ubuntu release

24.10

What architecture are you using?

Thanks for your report! There's an upstream Flutter issue that seems related: flutter/flutter#148861
@robert-ancell do you anything about this?

[robert-ancell]

I don't have any information about why some systems are failing to enable hardware acceleration. As in previous cases, I try to see if other GTK applications are working, or check if in a snap the app has correct access and drivers to get acceleration.

Note this issue where a non-flutter app (Nautilus) is having similar problems.
