Filing this in Graphics because maybe we want to block these versions. This is a startup crash which makes it particularly nasty. The bulk of the crashes are with version 510.85.2.0, 520.61.5.0, 520.56.6.0 and 515.48.7.0.

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

The stack trace looks similar to mesa issue #7819 however that doesn't mention Nvidia drivers, and all the crash reports here are definitely using them. Maybe it's another manifestation of the same problem.

Comment 2

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

Given the timing with the release of Mesa 22.3 it could be that this is an incompatibility with Nvidia drivers that are not prepared to handle Mesa's new behavior.

Comment 3

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto [:gcp]]

The bug you link to clearly explains this is a bug in Mesa and the fix is in Mesa: it tries to free an invalid pointer when loading a secondary driver fails (which is where the NVIDIA link comes in).

Status: I haven't gotten to testing this yet, it's assigned to me partly because one of the signatures is on WSL2 which I have experience with, so I'll try to debug that case and other repros I can attempt.
