cmd/snap-confine,interfaces/builtin: support for packaged nVidia drivers
For a while now, it has not been possible to use zoom, or any other snap which requires working graphics drivers, if you are using the snap on a Debian derived distribution (including Ubuntu), and you use the packaged nVidia drivers.
This pull request both fixes that issue, and provides support for additional features while using the nVidia drivers, including working EGL support, and working libva acceleration support.
The build issue has been fixed.
As for as the PR name... Awkwardly, there are also changes to posix_mq that are also required for zoom in here.
Any suggestions for a proper PR name?
In regards to the CLA check...
I don't know why it's not checking my github user, which was given when I signed the CLA, and I was added to the CLA organization, but I'm somewhat erked at how it is leaking my email address.
(I do use a unique address per thing I sign up for, so my launchpad email address is not my github address. But leaking either is not really okay.)
I'll reply to the comments in a moment.
But I want to add a warning that additional work is required in order to make this function in combination with apparmor, which I had disabled for unrelated reasons.
It's on my todo list, but I have definitely run into some quirks with it and overlayfs.
Hi @zelch, is your intention still to move this forward?
Hi @ernestl,
This dropped off my radar, but I certainly wouldn't mind taking another crack at this if there is interest.
Thank you @zelch, do mind if I ask by when you estimate to address the questions and possibly make changes as required?
