Description sergiopf 2020-09-14 21:51:31 UTC
Description of problem:
Chromium seems not to be using any hardware acceleration by default

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
chromium-85.0.4183.83-1.fc32.x86_64


How reproducible:
Installing chromium and executing it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run dnf install -y chromium
2. Run chromium from a Terminal to see the logs

Actual results:
about:gpu shows that only SW acceleration is available

Error message in the terminal:

```
[24269:24269:0914/234130.187901:ERROR:gl_implementation.cc(286)] Failed to load /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/libGLESv2.so: /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```

If this is fixed adding a symbolic link, I get the same error for libEGL.so.

After fixing the symbolic links:
```
ln -s /usr/lib64/libGLESv2.so.2 /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/libGLESv2.so
ln -s /usr/lib64/libEGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/libEGL.so
```

This error is printed in a loop while chromium is opened:
```
[24785:24785:0914/234446.816784:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(374)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.
[24785:24785:0914/234446.820293:ERROR:gl_surface_egl.cc(741)] EGL Driver message (Error) eglCreateContext: eglCreateContext

irtualization.
```

However, Chromium seems to be reporting that there is HW acceleration


Expected results:

HW acceleration working in Chromium
Additional info:
Hardware: ThinkPad x230 - i5 3230M
