running in software rendering mode

#1 Post by ryankm »

So after the new update I get this....

running in software rendering mode Currently Cinamon is running without accelerating video hardware and, as a result, CPU usage may be more than usual. There may be a problem with your drivers or some elle issue. For the best experience, it is recommended that this mode be used for the purposes of troubleshooting


Well it is true. Before I was watching 4k videos and games. Now a 1080p video is choppy...

Who knows what it is.... I get the same message all the way back to linux kernel 4.15

ryan@RKPM-BP-CLR:~$ cinnamon
Cinnamon warning: Software rendering detected: llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0, 256 bits)
org.Cinnamon already exists on bus and --replace not specified

Is there a cinnamon version I can revert to?

Debian buster/sid
Cinnamon 3.6.7
Linux Kernel 4.17.0-1amd64
Intel Xeon E5 2690 2.9GHz X (8) X 2
Memory 70.7 GiB
Hard Drives 3006.3GB
Nvidia GP107 GeForce GTX 1050 TI
Nvidia Beta Driver 396.18

WORKAROUND

I updated the NVIDIA driver to 396.45, but it is a non dkms module meaning it will not follow the kernel updates.

It works though.

I am still wondering if anybody had any info on this so maybe I wouldn't have to do this ion the future? Probably was the dkms thingy that caused the problem?

When I had that issue it took me almost a week before I figured it out. Though I was not using a dedicated graphics card, just the integrated graphics of my cpu. Anyways, what fixed it for me was to update Mesa. Alternatively what worked fine was using Debian Testing (Buster) instead of Stable (Wheezy?). Though, it looks like you are using sid so that last part probably doesn't help.
