Bug#1029681: nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver: Qt5 apps fail to launch with a segfault

[jim_p]

Package: nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
Version: 340.108-17
Followup-For: Bug #1029681
X-Debbugs-Cc: pitsiorisj at outlook.com

Please excuse me if I have already said anything of the following and I am now
repeating myself. I have so much in my mind that sometimes I forget what I said
a couple of days ago. Good thing some of them are written down on bug reports
and forums.

- I tried 6.0 with -17 the day I noticed the issue with qt5, but the issue
remained. Qt5 was probably at v5.18.7 back then and I waited for the migration
to v5.18.8 to complete, thus moving all its related packages to testing.
- Didn't we try downgrading to -16 and adding a patch from -17 (I can not
remember its name) last week? I remember asking how to make dkms force-build
modules...
- There is no way to install kodi 19 now. Debian did not have that version on
testing/unstable for months and dmo has no equivalend of snapshot.d.o.

In other news, I tried kitty's latest static binary from its github page and it
runs just fine, reporting these when the --debug-rendering or --debug-gl
parameter is used

$ ./kitty --debug-rendering
GL version string: '3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.108' Detected version: 3.3
ignoreboth or ignorespace present in bash HISTCONTROL setting, showing running
command in window title will not be robust

I am looking for other gl apps (not games!) to try. As for kodi, I am pretty
sure it looks for some gl-related variable at launch and the system fails to
provide it with one, so it returns that null output in its log and does not
start.
