Mesa 25.0 Released with Support for Vulkan 1.4 & OpenGL 4.6

A new version of the Mesa graphics library has been released. Mesa 25.0 features Vulkan 1.4 support, which the team bill as the ‘flashiest addition’ in this new development release as it spans Anv (Intel), Asahi (Apple), Lavapipe (software), NVK (NVIDIA), PanVK (Mali), RADV (AMD), and Turnip (Qualcomm). The OpenGL 4.6 API also sees implementation in Mesa 25.0 though the version reported will depend on the hardware driver in use since not all drivers support all features OpenGL 4.6 requires. AMD RDNA4 graphics sees initial support in the RadeonSI Gallium3D (OpenGL) and RADV (Vulkan) drivers is present, the former worked :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu LTS Users Could Get Intel GPU Updates More Frequently

This week sees the (belated) release of Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, the first point release update in the noble series to deliver an updated hardware enablement (HWE) stack. Ubuntu’s HWE backports newer Linux kernel and Mesa GPU drivers to LTS users in an effort to ensure the latest LTS works well with the latest hardware. But it could soon include a lot more. This week, Canonical engineer Shane McKee put forward a proposal to expand Ubuntu HWE updates so they loop in a broader range of graphics driver packages for Intel hardware. —the entire point of the HWE, after all.

The past months I have had a problem with a systemwide memory leak on my PC, resulting in frequent reboots. I recently went looking more closely into the problem, and found an army of process zombies nibbling on my computer's memory, and that a buggy AMD GPU driver was responsible (and it seems that Microsoft put the broken driver on my machine using Windows Update).

Update: it seems there are now recently patched drivers available, but they currently have to be installed manually.

Canonical and Intel Announce New GPU Drivers Preview

Canonical and Intel have announced they’re making it easier for Ubuntu users to get cutting-edge drivers for Intel’s newest discrete GPUs. The effort brings “ray tracing and improved machine learning performance” for Intel Arc B580 and B570 “Battlemage” discrete GPUs to users on Ubuntu 24.10, building on that releases’ preexisting support for Intel Core Ultra Xe2 iGPUs. “For the past decade, Ubuntu has been one of the first distributions to enable the latest Intel architectures. Building upon this strong collaboration, Intel and Canonical are excited to announce the availability of an Ubuntu graphics preview for [24.10]”, they say. Users with :sys_more_orange:

NVIDIA Linux Driver Now Supports Night Light Feature in GNOME

NVIDIA has released a new driver for Linux that adds support for the Night Light feature in GNOME. Night Light is a feature that reduces the amount of blue light emitted from your display, which can (studies show) help to improve sleep quality, and reduce eye fatigue. It’s available out-of-the-box in all Linux distributions which use GNOME (including Ubuntu), and accessed from the Settings app. The Linux x64 NVIDIA Display Driver 545.29.02 release notes mention various Wayland-related improvements (and much needed they are too, from what I hear) including support for virtual reality displays, support for running in XWayland, and a :sys_more_orange:

NVIDIA Unexpectedly Announces Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules

Anyone heading to hell this evening may want to pack some warmer clothes: NVIDIA is finally embracing open source whole-heartedly. In a shock post, NVIDIA announced the immediate release of open source GPU kernel modules for a crop of its current hardware. The move is the first step in a broader open source push by company aimed at “improving the experience of using NVIDIA GPUs in Linux”. And about time too, right? NVIDIA add that Canonical, backers of Ubuntu, plan to ‘package the open kernel modules’ for use in the recent Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release in short order, with other :sys_more_orange:
