Hi Ulrich,
This bug seems only to happen when NVIDIA driver and kernel module is not
matched, typically after user upgrading the driver and not reboot. So the
NVIDIA driver cannot create OpenGL context.
In this bug gnome-control-center will load cheese when it start and cheese use
cogl, so it crashed.
We can do some workaround but none can fix it, because the root cause is user
using unmatched driver and module, if a user upgrade his NVIDIA driver, he/she
should know a reboot is needed. Also the NVIDIA driver will give some error
message in system log
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cogl/-/issues/1#note_343869).
So I think upstream's choice is reasonable, we'd better let it crash. Because
even if we add workaround for this, other programs using OpenGL still have this
problem. If a broken driver leads into wrong resolution, using the correct
driver is better than setting resolution with the broken driver, I think.
Is this helpful for you?
