Mythtv: mtd + libGl.so.1.2 + nvidia = erk!

my myth transcoding daemon (mtd) is not starting due to the fact that libGl.so.1.2 is missing.
unfortunately trying to pacman -S libgl results in a conflict between libgl and nvidia-utils (:: libgl conflicts with nvidia-utils. Remove nvidia-utils? [Y/n] - err, no....)
has anyone come across this before and figured a way around it?

I've got this problem with the missing libGL, and for me it leaves mythgallery and mythmusic unresponsive. I moved to the testing version of nvidia-utils, but that forced me to the testing version of nvidia and the kernel, and everything broke. I downgraded to the extra versions of these packages and am still looking for a solution.

Libgl wants to remove nvidia-utils

With the newest update of xorg libgl a dependency of it wants to remove nvidia-utils which are in turn a dependency of nvidia driver.
What's the correct procedure with this?
pacman -Rd nvidia-utils or something else??

MythTV segfaults with nvidia 334.21-2...

I updated to the latest package for NVidia on my myth frontend in the living room, last weekend.
Alas it made mythfrontend fail with a segfault before it even started to paint anything except the themes' background.
Reverting back to version 331.49-1 fixed this. I reverted back to version 331.49-1 on the following pacakges:
nvidia
nvidia-libgl
nvidia-utils
I run lxde on my myth frontend. This does not happen on the workstation that runs KDE upstairs...
Hope this helps anyone with similar issues.
Regards,
Wille

With the above hack, I have no issues playing HD video's on MythTV using:

[SOLVED]Make Pacman think that I have libgl (NVIDIA driver)

Hi,
I've installed my Nvidia driver manualy because my card (NVS 310) do not work with the packages provides by pacman (even in AUR).
Now I have a problem because pacman think I do not have
libgl
and do not allows me to install any graphical tools like libreoffice even if I ignore libgl:
pacman -S libreoffice-fresh --ignore libgl
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 4 providers available for libgl:
:: Repository extra
1) mesa-libgl 2) nvidia-304xx-libgl 3) nvidia-340xx-libgl 4) nvidia-libgl

I cannot install one of these package because then conflict with my manual install:
pacman -S libgl

So my question is: Is there a way to make pacman understand that I have installed libgl manualy so it do not ask me to install it?
Thanks
The possible workaround is to remove my driver manually install any libgl than re-install manualy the driver and ignore libgl in the pacman configuration. But this is REALLY ugly...

Thanks for your reply, that was fast!
Make my own package is definitly the right way to do this and I will when I have some time.
For now I tried the workaround I mentioned before:

[Solved] Dependencies loop detected (nvidia-304xx-libgl ///

Hi.
Today, with a pacman syu I got this message (translating from spanish to english)
attention: dependencies loop detected:
attention: nvidia-304xx-libgl will be installed before its dependence nvidia-304xx-utils
I don't know which are the consequences of this message and I don't want to update because I don't know if I have to do something before or after, or should not worry.
What should I do?
Thanks
Edit:
better title... I think
more info... there are more packages in updates... including mesa-10.1.0-2 (viewing other posts with conflicts involving this package, I don't know if this info is important). Thanks again.

[Solved] Can't install Nvidia driver: Mesa-libgl conflict

I just finished installing my first GUI, KDE to be exact, on Arch Linux. Right now, I'm using the nouveau driver but I want to unlock the full power of my GTX 780 with proprietary nvidia drivers. On my last attempt at installing KDE, I went directly to installing the nvidia driver 304.24. After rebooting and seeing some text flash on screen, however, I was meant with only a black screen. I could still type, login and reboot but not much more since I couldn't see. I tried booting into the Arch Linux fallback GRUB provided for me with no prevail so I decided to just reinstall the OS. For that reason, I want to install this nvidia driver in hopes of being able to avoid another blank screen. So far, I have this:
[root@arch /]# pacman -S nvidia

:: nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict (libgl). Remove mesa-libgl? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

I've tried looking across the forums for similar problems and even tried to uninstall mesa-libgl and all its dependencies but it just yields this:

I feel like I might need to uninstall the nouveau driver so as to be able to uninstall mesa-libgl. If I installed the nvidia driver at that point, I fear I might see the blank screen again. Thanks for your help in advance.

You do it wrong.
sudo pacman -Rdd mesa-libgl && sudo pacman -S nvidia
After it, you can decide if you want to reinstall mesa-libgl and remove nvidia-libgl or leave nvidia-libgl and do not install mesa-libgl. I do it all the time during update.

I remember that I had to remove libgl when installing the Nvidia driver, has something regarding that situation changed/inverted ?

Dosbox is missing libGL.so.1.2

Hello.
I just found a bug in the dosbox package (0.72-2). It's missing the library mentioned in the subject which should be provided by nvidia-utils (or catalyst-utils or, I guess, libgl). I have nvidia-utils installed but I only have libGL.so.1 in /usr/lib. Filed a bug about this here:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8747
A solution for now was to recompile dosbox on my nVidia card based system. Now dosbox is linked to libGL.so.1 and everything works fine, but I guess this should be changed in the official package also.

Hello,
so this is my first post here.
Another workaround i found out is to create a new symbolic link /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -> libGL.so.100.14.19 (the one from nvidia-utils). My question: would this lead into problems one day to do so? Or is it safe so create such a link?
Hm, if the probem also fades, when i rebuild the package, i will eventually try out ABS with dosbox.

Hmm... you can never miss with a link like the following: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -> /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
This should be helpful for problems that might occur with future catalyst/nvidia/mesa packages.
But I would still prefer a recompile.

I believe the problem exists between xrandr and the nvidia driver because it worked with the nouveau driver.
I switched from nouveau to nvidia with this commands:
$ pacman -Rdds --noconfirm nouveau-dri xf86-video-nouveau mesa-libgl lib32-nouveau-dri lib32-mesa-libgl
$ pacman -S --noconfirm nvidia lib32-nvidia-libgl
Knows anyone a solution?

Hello,
thanks for you suggestions. So I updated my 10-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS" "1"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0" #Collapse Monitor and Device section to Screen section
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24 #Choose the depth (16||24)
Option "Metamodes" "LVDS-0: nvidia-auto-select; 1366x768_60 {ViewPortIn=640x480, ViewPortOut=640x480+120+0};"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1366x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" #Choose the resolution
EndSubSection
EndSection
Unfoftunately it does not help. I still get the same error message.

[SOLVED] libgl & pam_fprint

Hi,
I just installed my Arch Linux operating system and it's running very nicely! Everything has been pretty much straight-forward thanks to the excellent documentation, mostly in the wiki.
My computer has a Nvidia card and hence I installed the packages nvidia and nvidia-utils according to the related wiki page. Worked fine after a reboot.
However, the Nvidia wiki page states that libgl should be removed to avoid a package conflict. I tried to install the two above mentioned packages without removing libgl and that didn't work. After I had removed libgl I could successfully install the packages and get the drivers up and running.
Now I want to configure my fingerprint reader. I'm following this wiki page and everything worked smoothly until the step that's hyperlinked. When I tried to 'yaourt -Sb pam_fprint' I got the following message:
error: target not found: pam_fprint
missing dependency for ati-dri : libgl=7.11.2
missing dependency for intel-dri : libgl=7.11.2
missing dependency for mach64-dri : libgl=7.11.2
missing dependency for mga-dri : libgl=7.11.2
missing dependency for r128-dri : libgl=7.11.2
missing dependency for savage-dri : libgl=7.11.2
missing dependency for sis-dri : libgl=7.11.2
missing dependency for tdfx-dri : libgl=7.11.2
If I try to install libgl, I must remove nvidia-utils, and that doesn't seem like an adequate solution to me. What should I do?

Actually, never mind! I solved it by installing 'pam_fprint-git' instead of 'pam_fprint' (that package didn't exist, as the pasted output told me). Updated the wiki page accordingly.

I have this same problem (because of AMD Catalyst) and it seems these drivers are not needed, but I am NOT SURE. I am curious as to why the instructions on the arch wiki for installing AMD graphics drivers says libgl is okay to remove, but does not mention the resulting dependency errors.
Otherwise, the system is perfectly functional Just a little less pretty when updating.
Edit: confirmed, it's okay to remove them.

When I try uninstall nvidia-utils I receive message that are many dependiences of this package and I can't. Any suggestions ?

This stuff was asked and answered many times already. Do a forum search with "libgl-dri conflicts with nvidia" and you'll find lots of threads with answers for fixing this. It's a simple fix.

NV GeForce 7600, nvidia-304xx-lts, but Failed to load module "nvidia"

Hi,
I'm trying to replace nouveau driver with nvidia-304xx-lts for my NVIDIA Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] videocard.
I'm following advices at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia.
I have installed the linux kernel: core/linux-lts 3.14.21-1.
I modified the script for switching from nouveau to nvidia, like:
#!/bin/bash
# nouveau -> nvidia
# run as root
set -e
# check if root
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "You must be root to run this script. Aborting...";
exit 1;
fi
if [ -e /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-nouveau.conf ]
then rm -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-nouveau.conf
fi
cp /Adatok/ArchLinuxBeallitasok/30-nvidia.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
sed -i 's/MODULES="nouveau"/#MODULES="nouveau"/' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
pacman -Rdds --noconfirm xf86-video-nouveau mesa-libgl lib32-mesa-dri lib32-mesa-libgl
pacman -S --noconfirm nvidia-304xx-lts lib32-nvidia-304xx-libgl
mkinitcpio -p linux
reboot
The 30-nvidia.conf is:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia Card"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection
When I run after reboot and bash login:
startx
I get not the X Window system, but error messages.
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log file is:
[ 229.009] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
[ 229.009] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so

What am I missing here? How can I solve this problem?
Regards, from Pál

I solve the problem with the script:
#!/bin/bash
# nouveau -> nvidia
# run as root
set -e
# check if root
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "You must be root to run this script. Aborting...";
exit 1;
fi
if [ -e /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-nouveau.conf ]
then rm -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-nouveau.conf
fi
cp /Adatok/ArchLinuxBeallitasok/30-nvidia.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
sed -i 's/MODULES="nouveau"/#MODULES="nouveau"/' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
pacman -Rdds --noconfirm xf86-video-nouveau mesa-libgl lib32-mesa-dri lib32-mesa-libgl
pacman -S --noconfirm nvidia-304xx lib32-nvidia-304xx-libgl
mkinitcpio -p linux
reboot
The needed package was: nvidia-304xx because I'm using linux 3.17.1-1 kernel.

Nvidia-304xx Module nvidia not found

Hi,
I had a nvidia GTX 260 as primary gpu with the latest nvidia running.
Now I switched to an old GT 6600. Therefore I installed nvidia-304xx but modprobe nvidia fails.
[pheinrich@ARCH ~]$ sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
[pheinrich@ARCH ~]$ pacman -Qs nvidia

local/opencl-nvidia-304xx 304.121-2

I do not know what I have done wrong.

I found it on
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA
For GeForce 6000/7000 series cards [NV40-NV4E, NV63-NV68], install the nvidia-304xx or nvidia-304xx-lts packages, available in the official repositories.
When I select the dropdowns on the nvidia website I get the 304.88 for that card so I think nvidia-304xx would be the right one.
I think there was something wrong during installation. If the nvidia-304xx wouldn't be compatible the nvidia module must be installed regardless.
I will try nvidia.
Edit 1
Something completly wrong here. I have installed the package nvidia now again.
[pheinrich@ARCH ~]$ sudo pacman -Qs nvidia
local/lib32-libcl 1.1-1
OpenCL library and ICD loader from NVIDIA (32-bit)

local/nvidia-utils 337.25-2

But "modprobe nvidia" prints
[pheinrich@ARCH ~]$ sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
Maybe it has to do with the situation that I had installed "nvidia" before then removed it an installed nvidia-304xx ?

[SOLVED]Applications don't detect/use libGL.so.1

SOLUTION : Re-install lib32-nvidia-libgl
I installed dwarffortress (repo package) and ran dwarffortress. It gave me this error -
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Searching for libGL.so.1 gives me with catfish - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2sfMr … sp=sharing
As you can see, I have it in several locations including /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib32/nvidia. Following this thread - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159833 I ran
pkgfile libGL.so.1 and it gave me
extra/mesa-libgl
extra/nvidia-304xx-utils
extra/nvidia-libgl
extra/nvidia-utils
community/nvidia-cg-toolkit
community/primus
multilib/lib32-mesa-libgl
multilib/lib32-nvidia-304xx-utils
multilib/lib32-nvidia-libgl
multilib/lib32-nvidia-utils
multilib/lib32-primus
I tried to install mesa-libgl but it is in conflict with nvidia-libgl. So what do I do? Do I remove nvidia-libgl? I am on a x86_64 system (uname -m gives x86_64). Also various solutions around the internet consist of creating symlinks but I need to get a concrete solution that doesn't break my system. Several other games give me this error when I try to run with Wine.
If this helps - I ran pacman -Qs libgl and it gave me -
local/lib32-mesa 10.0.2-1
an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification (32-bit)
local/lib32-nvidia-libgl 331.38-1
NVIDIA drivers libraries symlinks (32-bit)
local/libglade 2.6.4-5
Allows you to load glade interface files in a program at runtime
local/mesa 10.0.2-1
an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification
local/nvidia-libgl 331.38-1
NVIDIA drivers libraries symlinks
P.S - How do I put things in code so that I don't have to paste them as text and they don't take up screen space?
EDIT : Something strange. Just randomly I tried installing lib32-glu. Output said <package name and version> is up to date -- reinstalling. That's fine, I just forgot it was already installed. But then it said
Total Download Size: 0.17 MiB
Total Installed Size: 0.52 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: 0.00 MiB
Shouldn't the download size be 0 if it's already installed?

That's strange, check now does it load? I have set permissions to anyone on the web. Anyway, I'll paste it here -
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/nvidia
/usr/lib32/nvidia
And thanks! Re-installing lib32-nvidia-libgl worked! Could you please tell me how to put the output in code? I'll mark the thread as solved though.
EDIT : Uh, I don't see an edit button for the title. How do I edit it to read [SOLVED] ?
