No matter what i do or how i get there after i install flame on centos 7.6 I get this error
“symbol lookup error: /lib64/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Current”
i have tried with flame 2022 and flame 2023 + various versions of the DKU + different nvidia drivers.
The autodesk solution each time seems to be a full reinstall which i’ve done and it has still failed. There was mention that it could be related to a firefox upate, but i haven’t touched that all. My gut tells me it’s something to do with my nvidia driver since i have a rtx 3080 and needed something different. If i don’t use that nvidia driver my system doesn’t seem to want to boot and hangs in different processes.
has anyone else ever experienced anything remotely close to this?
@andrewc has also been amazing and helping me out so i couldn’t have gotten this far without him…i owe him so many beers.
ok…so this is what happened. a hybrid of sorts.
thank you so much @friendlyape and @andrewc for all your help.
these were my steps for anyone in a similar situation…
install centos 7.6 (modified with mce=off and mce=nobootlog) so i could get it to work with my Ryzen 5950.
then installed DKU 17.0
unfortunately this doesn’t play too nicely with my RTX 3080 and it ends up hanging on boot up so
i had to use the “install-libglvnd” flag so that i could use my Nvidia Driver. I still couldn’t use the one from the DKU, but this worked and was able to proceed with flame install with success.
It was not pretty getting here, but glad it worked.
Glad you got there! so, what version of the Nvidia driver are you using? one supplied by Autodesk in the DKU? or one downloaded from Nvidia?
I ask because I have found that when I have used the latest driver downloaded from Nvidia, I can’t use the planar tracker in action or gmask tracer (it always says failed to set reference). Would be interested to hear if you have those issues.
i’m using the latest RTX 30 series driver for linux. i downloaded from nvidia.
the planar tracker worked in action for me as did gmask tracer.
i had to use the nvidia driver outside the DKU for my system to boot.
I have a problem now with new Autodesk ISO install of Rocky Linux 8.5 Rev2 to upgrade Nvidia drivers. I used the same procedure as before going into systemctl set-default multi-user.target as root and rebooting. After I run the install Nvidia drivers with a --install-libglvnd command it goes tru the uncompressing… and then I get this error:
ERROR: An Nvidia kernel module ‘nvidia-uvm’ appears to be already loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use bla bla… but this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading…
yes as before it goes into a tty and I log in and go into root with sudo su and start the driver update with those flags from above. nvidia-smi shows that deamon is running in driver persistance mode - name of the GPU shows as Persistance-M if I remember. I have found documentation for Driver Persistance and used those commands to disable but still it sticks so it is a demon that starts and connects the driver to kernel modules as I understand. I am not sure what to do to disable it.

ERROR: An NVIDIA kernel module ‘nvidia-uvm’ appears to already be loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by an X server, a CUDA program, or the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon), but this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading. Please be sure to exit any programs that may be using the GPU(s) before attempting to upgrade your driver. If no GPU-based programs are running, you know that your kernel supports module unloading, and you still receive this message, then an error may have occurred that has corrupted an NVIDIA kernel module’s usage count, for which the simplest remedy is to reboot your computer.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file ‘/var/log/nvidia-installer.log’ for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
Yes and I try all kinds of kill commands and it just starts the server again as soon as it is killed. I really do not know how to proceed with updating drivers on this box
whats the output of? /bin/systemctl status "*sw_*"

If you see any sw related service running you can do:
/bin/systemctl stop “service”
Alternatively, I usually do the NVIDIA update like so:
1 - Stop all autodesk services (Services App)
2 - Go into multiuser mode by typing init 3 in the terminal
3 - Install the driver
4 - Reboot sudo reboot
