Hi!
I am running Kubuntu 16.04.2 and require some very specific info that I simply could not find on google. I would like to know if there is some type of code or package that allows me to switch between the Opengl Interfaces GLX and EGL in the Compositor subsection of the system settings menu. I found code to toggle between Composite on/off, but nowhere could I find an option that would allow me to exclusively switch between GLX and EGL. Thank you very much! |

Thank you very much!
Could you maybe help me to tackle the reason why I opted for this workaround? I run Kubuntu 16.04 with Plasma 5 and as you mentioned above EGL support is broken. More specifically, the nvidia-375 driver had an issue which I managed to fix, but EGL support remained broken. This was the error message displayed after installing the nvidia-375 driver. It subsequently popped up with every other package that I installed.
I did manage to solve this issue however, with a fix I found through google. After applying the code, the error messages disappeared, but whenever I select EGL as Opengl Interface desktop effects stop working, as compositing is turned off.
Who is at fault, the nvidia driver or Kwin? |
