Bug ID: 2031495
           Summary: Blender not working properly with wayland with nvidia
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 35
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: blender
          Severity: medium
          Assignee: [e-mail]

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora

Description of problem:

When running Blender on Fedora 35 with Wayland with nvidia drivers from RPM
Fusion the dropdown windows are not showing up reliably. This makes Blender
unusable.

Switching back to X11 fixes the problem and Blender works as expected.

To be able to have Wayland with NVIDIA drivers enabled per default for Fedora
36 this needs to be fixed.

Name         : blender
Epoch        : 1
Version      : 3.0.0
Release      : 2.fc35
Architecture : x86_64

Can you consider to report the issue upstream instead ? (eventually pointing
nvidia to the problem).

Speaking about upstream, work to support Wayland is on the way:
https://developer.blender.org/T90676

Using the patched from the report, Wayland is now enabled on this COPR build:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/luya/blender-egl/build/3032066/

As tested, the resulting Blender build has enabled Wayland support verified
with the command: "WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 blender" through terminal.
The benefit is the rendering works with OpenShadingLanguage without crashing
once the build disable system GLEW.

Try it and see if Blender runs smoothly.

Upstream is aiming for Wayland support in 2.4:

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on
2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with
a
'version' of '35'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
