I'm going to dive into browser game development and thus I need webGL but it does not work in any browser here on my Ubuntu. I'm using Chrome version 36.0.1985.125 and the result on chrome://gpu are as follows: enter image description here

So I can't use webGL and it's pretty annoying. I googled and followed advices and enabled Override software rendering list: enter image description here

but still have no luck. I tried google-chrome --enable-webgl --ignore-gpu-blacklist but with no effect. So how can I made this work? Also everythyng work fine on chrome in windows and it also does not work here in ubuntu in Firefox 26. I installed latest NVIDIA drivers yesrterday but still no effect. What may cause problems?

  • @alexander255, I tried google-chrome --enable-webgl --ignore-gpu-blacklist but with no effect. – SET Aug 09 '14 at 20:59
  • @SET That's odd... Can you install Chromium and check if the same happens (chromium-browser --enable-webgl --ignore-gpu-blacklist) ? – Salem Aug 09 '14 at 22:11
  • @Salem, for some reasons I can't install it. Here is installation output - http://pastebin.com/E3KGdwye – SET Aug 09 '14 at 22:59

    @SET That's because 12.10 is no longer supported. See http://askubuntu.com/q/91815/33871 – Salem Aug 09 '14 at 23:02
  • @Salem, well, at least I installed Chromium 25.0.1364.172 and webGL sites work exept they are extremely laggy and chrome://gpu/ still show WebGL: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration unavailable. – SET Aug 10 '14 at 14:56
  • changed "Override software rendering list:" and it now work in chromium. How can I make it work in chrome. (also long time was wonderint about what is the difference between this wto browsers) – SET Aug 10 '14 at 15:06
  • Difference is that Chrome is closes-source by Google and contains some proprietary extensions by Google (like a newer version of Flash Player) [ https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/ ]; while Chromium are only the open-sourced parts of Chrome compiled by Ubuntu devs [ http://www.chromium.org/Home & https://launchpad.net/chromium-browser ]. – ntninja Aug 10 '14 at 18:22
