So I got offered the update from my current 410.73 drivers to a minor update of 410.78. Found out it will not run nvidia-settings now without an error.
root@Serenity:/home/keith/Desktop# /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

(nvidia-settings:3214): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 16:49:45.561: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
** Message: 16:49:46.239: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort
** Message: 16:49:46.239: PRIME: is it supported? no


Anybody else run into this issue yet and can offer a fix? All my Google searches don't turn up anything relevant for the error. I have none of the factors or applications in any of the hits.

Well I got brave and applied the update to a second computer. Same errors but this time each nvidia-settings parameter command actually applied. So now it is just a cosmetic issue it seems as I can't detect any harm in the error message so far. I'm surprised that these error messages haven't been discussed in the forums. So something changed in one of the applied driver updates that now throws the libEGL failed to authenticate error every time nvidia-settings is invoked. Still have heard nothing from the ppa maintainers.

Just updated and no issue at all.

At least for now.

Did you get the libEGL error message after a nvidia-settings call in Terminal?

[Edit] I posted ANOTHER message in the Ubuntu.org forums hoping to attract any attention to the issue. Even though it seems to be benign I want to understand what is causing it.
