nvidia-304 and glmark2 segfault

**$yl9pAR%t** · March 16th, 2016

Running glmark2 with nvidia-304 gives me segmentation fault, there is no problem when I am using nouveau driver. I have got this result on Xubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 fallback w/metacity. Because of hardware limitation I cannot check it with Unity. This is not new problem, it exist at least since February 2016.

My system info:

I see this bug was confirmed on Ubuntu 15.10 and it affects a few other nvidia gpu and drivers (not only 304).

I fixed this issue according to http://git.net/ml/ubuntu-bugs/2016-06/msg09689.html

However, no need to rebuild the glmark2 package; simple LD_PRELOAD=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 /usr/bin/glmark2 helps.
