Not seeing NVidia card in containers. #1773
Description
Describe the bug
On my debian 12 host I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti that uses the propriety driver 535.247.01.
I've created 2 containers, 1 arch the other tumbleweed using the --nvidia switch -
distrobox create -n arch2 --hostname arch2 -i --nvidia docker.io/library/archlinux:latest
distrobox create -n tumbleweed --hostname tumbleweed --nvidia -i registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/tumbleweed:latest
I get a delay of about 20secs starting the container each time at
Setting up host's nvidia integration... [ OK ] line.
The problem is I have installed the handbrake encoder on each and wanting to make use of the GPU NVenc codec.
However, when I run handbrake on either container I then this error before the app's GUI opens.
chris@arch:~>$ghb
libEGL warning: DRI3 error: Could not get DRI3 device
libEGL warning: Activate DRI3 at Xorg or build mesa with DRI2
libEGL warning: DRI3 error: Could not get DRI3 device
libEGL warning: Activate DRI3 at Xorg or build mesa with DRI2
chris@arch:~>$
The app's GUI then opens but there is no NVenc ecoding option which I suspect tells me I don't see my GPU.
From one google search I found this tip of adding a conf file
chris@tumbleweed:~>$cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Card"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
but that did not help.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Expected behavior
I expect to see the NVenc codec as I do here on my host's handbrake.
