Public bug reported: Launching any application in the Nvidia Linux Graphics Debugger does not work with the Ubuntu packaged drivers, but it works by manually installing the Nvidia upstream drivers (same version). A packaging issue is the likely issue of this.
Steps to reproduce: 1) install LGD from https://developer.nvidia.com/linux-graphics-debugger 2) launch it, against x64, connect to localhost, click on the Launch tab and click on the "Install debugger" button 3) try to launch any OpenGL application under LD_PRELOAD=~/.tgd/libs/libNvidia_gfx_debugger.so . For instance: $ LD_PRELOAD=~/.tgd/libs/libNvidia_gfx_debugger.so glxgears LGD: Starting GTI initialization... LGD: GLX vendor: NVIDIA Corporation LGD: Graphics interception initialized Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".
