Description

Hello, I want to use libglxserver_nvidia.so extension to create an Xorg session on my desktop.

However, the current driver image doesn't support it, while it was actually extracted in the local filesystem and could be linked.
With GPU Operator, I can find my libglxserver_nvidia.so in /run/nvidia/drivers/tmp/null/....

Just removing --x-module-path argument could resolve it.
Tested on my local k8s cluster with this patch below: quay.io/ulagbulag/openark-gpu-nvidia-driver:550.144.03-ubuntu24.04.

sh NVIDIA-Linux-$DRIVER_ARCH-$DRIVER_VERSION.run --silent \
    --ui=none \
    --no-drm \
    --no-nouveau-check \
    --no-nvidia-modprobe \
    --no-rpms \
    --no-backup \
    --no-check-for-alternate-installs \
    --no-libglx-indirect \
    --no-install-libglvnd \
    --x-prefix=/tmp/null \
    # --x-module-path=/tmp/null \
    --x-library-path=/tmp/null \
    --x-sysconfig-path=/tmp/null \
    ${install_args[@]+"${install_args[@]}"}

Research direction

Search the driver-image build or installation entry point for --x-module-path and compare it with the provided NVIDIA installer arguments. Rebuild and test the stated Ubuntu 24.04 image on a Kubernetes cluster; done means libglxserver_nvidia.so is available in the container and can be used to create an Xorg session.
