ERROR rendering PNGs in parralel for dash

[fruchtee]

I just made an Test-dashboard, which only contains a Text-Panel. Exporting it to PDF gives me a blank page with the following error:

error rendering PNGs in parralel for dash {Title:test Description: VariableValues: Rows:[] Panels:[{Id:1 Type:text Title:Panel Title GridPos:{H:8 W:12 X:0 Y:0}}]}: error getting panel {Id:1 Type:text Title:Panel Title GridPos:{H:8 W:12 X:0 Y:0}}: Error obtaining render: 500 Internal Server Error

Is this a known issue? Or are there any fixes already?

grafana version: 9.5.3

Is it possible that the reporter is not compatible with Grafana Version 9.5.x ?

I still couldnt find a fix. Some panels just cant get rendered.

Hey @fruchtee, I'm observing the same issue with Grafana 9.x. Did you manage to solve this?

EDIT: in my case checking the logs I had a missing dynamic library missing, nothing related with the app itself.

[fruchtee]

No I did not find any solution for this. Did you find a fix?

[markoshorro]

@fruchtee yeah, in my case it was related with my machine, some missing libraries. You could check your logs (Grafana logs) for more information, it helped me a lot.

[fruchtee]

Hi @markoshorro I am actually not finding any missing libraries. Which do you had to add?

HI everyone I've found the solution

error come from this problem

1. check Grafana log
   you may seen error from plugin.grafana-image-renderer like this

logger=plugin.grafana-image-renderer t=2024-04-09T06:11:56.802277104Z level=error msg="Render request failed" url="http://localhost:3000/d-solo/{you dash board uid}/_?from=now-1h&height=500&panelId=29&theme=light&to=now&width=1000&render=1" error="Error: Failed to launch the browser process!\n/var/lib/grafana/plugins/grafana-image-renderer/chrome/linux-124.0.6351.0/chrome-linux64/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libgbm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory\n\n\nTROUBLESHOOTING: https://pptr.dev/troubleshooting\n"

The log told you that you need mechanism for allocating buffers for graphics rendering.

2. Install libgbm
   Following this command

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libgbm-dev

Restart grafana service and grafana-report then try again.
