Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/263

Wolf fails to bind the GPU compositor (weirdly enough, wolf was working flawlessly before I rebooted my PC)

System:
Nobara Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64
Kernel: 6.16.9-200.nobara.fc42.x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (12) @ 4.47 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
Mesa: radeonsi, RADV NAVI22

Inside container:
glxinfo and vulkaninfo detect GPU correctly
/dev/dri/card1 and renderD128 present

Presently resorted to running wolf through a docker-compose:

services:
  wolf:
    image: ghcr.io/games-on-whales/wolf:stable
    container_name: wolf
    network_mode: host
    privileged: true
    environment:
      - DISPLAY=:0
      - WOLF_DRM_DEVICE=/dev/dri/card1
    volumes:
      - /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
      - /dev:/dev
      - /run/udev:/run/udev
      - /var/lib/dbus:/var/lib/dbus
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
    restart: unless-stopped

I was previously running it through a script:

launch-wolf.sh

TBH I can barely remember what's in it, I've changed it so many bloody times trying to get it to work now.

The logs

If you need any other information please don't hesitate to ask, I'm just very tired right now.

When I had this similar issue I had to do rebuilt the nvidia image.

I had to remove the old image first. I can't find the command I ran anywhere

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/games-on-whales/gow/master/images/nvidia-driver/Dockerfile | docker build -t gow/nvidia-driver:latest -f - --build-arg NV_VERSION=$(cat /sys/module/nvidia/version) .

docker create --rm --mount source=nvidia-driver-vol,destination=/usr/nvidia gow/nvidia-driver:latest sh

@KorinFlakes your compose configuration is all wrong, can you try with the standard one in the quickstart guide first

version: "3"
services:
  wolf:
    image: ghcr.io/games-on-whales/wolf:stable
    volumes:
      - /etc/wolf/:/etc/wolf
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw
      - /dev/:/dev/:rw
      - /run/udev:/run/udev:rw
    device_cgroup_rules:
      - 'c 13:* rmw'
    devices:
      - /dev/dri
      - /dev/uinput
      - /dev/uhid
    network_mode: host
    restart: unless-stopped

and then, if you still have issues, post the full Wolf logs using the command

docker logs wolf

the ones that you've posted are impossible to read (and looks incomplete too) unfortunately

Hi, I am facing the same issue on a dual GPU laptop. I am running wolf using the Nvidia manual method.

Specifically it identifies the Nvidia GPU in DEBUG logs but I still get this error ERROR | [GSTREAMER] Pipeline error: Internal data stream error.

Here are the logs from wolf container
https://pastebin.com/MJxfLn02

And here is my docker compose

I am on Arch and the Nvidia-smi also shows that the container is using GPU
