Nvidia and libgl-dri conflict

Hi,
I have a problem with pacman, where whenever I try to install the nvidia driver (pacman -Sy nvidia), it says the following:
:: nvidia conflicts with libgl-dri. Remove libgl-dri? [Y/n]
Remove: libgl-dri
Targets: nvidia-1.0.8178-11
Total Package Size: 5.9 MB
Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]
checking package integrity... done.
error: this will break the following dependencies:
libgl-dri: is required by mesa
I did a google search and came up with a bug report on the problem. It's revealed this is a problem with pacman and that it was fixed in CVS. The temporary fix listed at the bottom lets me install the nvidia package, but it gives me another problem. Whenever I try to run a program that requires libgl, it spits out the following error:
[insert app name here]: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm desperate to get this working, so is there a way I get can the latest pacman from cvs? Or is there a way to let programs know that I'm using nvidia drivers for libgl?
BTW, I'm using testing packages e.g. xorg 7. This is the only problem I've had so far.

Ugh...I made another partition on my drive for testing arch, and it's absolutley impossible to bypass this problem. The thing I did before doesn't work anymore. Now, when I try to do pacman -S nvidia, it'll install but it spits out the following:
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.1 is empty, not checked.

And as before, when I try to run a GL app
[insert app name here]: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The bug report on this says it's fixed in cvs...so can someone tell me how to get pacman from cvs?

Xorg 7 mod / nvidia / libgl-dri conflict

I run the tesing repo of arch, and want to use xorg modular with nvidia. Although it runs with xf86-input-nv, I'ld like to run the nvidia driver - I think this is the best if you like to have 3D Acceleration, right?
So, as many have mentioned before, I found that nvidia from testing conflicts libgl-dri, that can't be removed as it is a dependency of mesa. Some advices tend to the direction to just remove mesa and libgl-dri, some say you should'nt.
I would like to know how I should act now. I have a clean machine, just installed and set up, and don't want to march in the wrong direction.
Regards

Hi, Annette. I have forced pacman to remove libgl-dri and ignore dependencies. It works - but I don't know it that is the way one should go. I don't know waht the xorg package becomes in the end, and how the nvidia package will finally fit to modular. Right now, I think it is a hack.

[beryl] white screen after libx11/libgl-dri upgrade

hello archers
after upgrading libx11 & libgl-dri this morning i suddenly have the white screen problem in beryl. the cube rotates and the cursor changes when howevering over windows, but the desktop is all white.
the only thing that was changed in my setup is that i upgraded libx11 and libgl-dri. here's the snippet from pacman.log:
[11/25/06 11:34] installed xcb-proto (1.0-1)
[11/25/06 11:34] installed libxcb (1.0-1)
[11/25/06 11:34] upgraded libx11 (1.0.3-1 -> 1.1-1)
[11/25/06 11:34] upgraded libgl-dri (6.5.1-1 -> 6.5.1-2)
i tried reverting by getting the previous PKGBUILDs from CVS and recompiling. but the white screen problem remained. however, getting the old packages from a server that had not been sync-ed did fix the problem :?
i will stick with the old packages for now. does anyone have a clue what might be the cause of this and whether there is a fix?
for reference: i am using beryl on aiglx with the i810 driver (945GM chipset) and KDE
ps: if anyone having the same problem needs the old packages i am willing to host them

I have a R350 card.
It's very difficult for me to write in english, but I have a big problem when I switch to 'ati' or "radeon" driver : my fonts are very very small (divided by 2 ?). :shock:
I think it's a problem in my xorg.conf, but I don't see what.
And I would like to test 3D effects... I use KDE, and I don't know which to use : Beril, compiz... I'm completely lost ! (but it's not the subject here)
A thing I'm sure : I have to resolve this problem of fonts before testing 3D...
For the moment, I have downgraded the package to make my apps working...

I've read threads on this before but this time nvidia-utils is being asked to be removed. I'm not sure if removing nvidia-utils is safe. Before, reading some threads on here, I had to set libgl to ignore to get nvidia-utils to install.
Thanks.

I remember that I had to remove libgl when installing the Nvidia driver, has something regarding that situation changed/inverted ?
(Also, I have multilib enabled and 32 bit nvidia packages installed)

Check the "latest news" on archlinux home page .
I have the same issue but using the catalyst-total-hd234k package from AUR. Should I say yes to remove also this package?
I'm waiting for an answer from the maintainer of the catalyst package.

Libgl-dri - libgl upgrade fails because libGL.so.1 is present.

Attempting the libgl-dri -> libgl upgrade :
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libgl: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 exists in filesystem
errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Umm thinking as I type, perhaps this is because I have the nVidia proprietary driver installed and did that when I installed Arch a couple of months ago and realise that it was available via pacman. I will post anyway in case the issue affects anyone else, or someone can tell me that there is a different reason.
And a P.S. by way of an edit. I just tried to install the upgrade to mplayer separately from libgl (it came as part of the same -Syu exercise), and it fails for the same reason - maybe that was the problem in the first place?

You mean you installed nvidia from their 'official installer'? That would cause this problem - if you want nvidia, use pacman's packages to avoid this in the future.

[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.

I'm wondering if there is a proper way of upgrading nvidia-utils from 313.26 to 313.30. New release doesn't provide libgl so when i try to upgrade, i get error like this:

Is there a proper way to upgrade nvidia without removing it's dependencies?
Last edited by Browcio (2013-04-06 10:38:12)

$ sudo pacman -Syu nvidia-libgl
But new nvidia (pkgrel >= 2) has libgl as a dependency, so it seems your repo is not (yet) updated. If it is, then the command is:
$ sudo pacman -Syu

Trying to install nvidia and nvidia-utils via pacman and failed

I type
pacman -Sy nvidia nvidia-utils
i get:

looking for inter-conflicts...
:: util-linux and util-linux-ng are in conflict (linux32). Remove util-linux-ng? [y/N] Y

I cant seem to get it to install nvidia and consequentially lots of things are borked.
Any ideas what I can do to start solving this?

Don't run 'pacman -Sy foo' - it may lead to breakage https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89328
Are you using [testing]? http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 21479.html

NVIDIA and external monitor

W520, Windows 7 (64 bit), NVIDIA Quadro 1000M 2GB DDR3, purchased November 2011.
Problems (related?):
-External monitor remains unrecognized when connected to W520.
-NVIDIA not recognized or working. Maybe reason external monitor not recognized?
Tried to connect this computer to an HP2511x external monitor (via VGA direct to the computer or through docking station) but the monitor is not recognized. Last made this connection about a year ago and it worked fine at that time: plugged the VGA cable into the W520 and the external monitor connected automatically, in duplicate mode. The HP usually is connected to another computer and works fine, and the VGA cable was tested recently and is good. Tried the options at Fn/F7 and windows key/P: the HP monitor remains black.
Studied the external monitor issue in forums and learned about the NVIDIA comments. In follow up, I learned that the NVIDIA device is not listed in my Device Manager, under Display Adapters or elsewhere. Right-clicking the desktop does no bring up the NVIDIA Control Panel.
When I do a search for the NVIDIA Control Panel, this message appears:
“NVIDIA display settings are not available. You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU.” This appears whether VGA connected to the external monitor or not.
I attempted, several times, to download the NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA site via auto detection. The auto detect page instructed me to download Java, but Java is already loaded and current. So I entered the NVIDIA info manually, which eventually lead to this message:
“NVIDIA Installer failed”
HD Audio Driver – Not Installed
NVIDIA WMI – Not Installed
nView – Not Installed
Graphics Driver – Failed
3D Vision Driver – Not Installed
So, I went to the Lenovo website and downloaded:
“NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit) - ThinkPad”
After a restart, right clicking the desktop still does not show the NVIDIA Control Panel.
The Device Manager shows:
-Intel(R) HD Graphic Family
-Unknown device
I clicked on the Unknown device and read:
-Device type: Display adapters
Manufacturer: Unknown
Location: PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0
Device status: Reinstall the driver for this device. (Code 18)
Then I clicked the Reinstall Driver button, which lead to this message:
“Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. NVIDIA Quadro 1000M”
I went through the above processes several times to be certain that I did not miss something.
There is a GeForce shortcut on the desktop and when clicked, leads to this message:
“GeForce Experience encountered an error and must close.”
Tried rebooting to BIOS:
BIOS>Config>Display: the options are:
-Boot Display Device (ThinkPad LCD) default
-Graphic Device (NVIDIA Optimus)
-OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus (enabled)
Changed display to Graphic Device, tapped F10 to save and exit, then save, before computer goes into normal mode.
Try Fn/F7, duplicate, then extend, then projector and in all cases the HP monitor remains black, unrecognized. Message on W520 screen:
“Unable to connect to a computer.
No projector was detected.”
So, back to reboot> BIOS>Config>Display were I find that the setup reverted to the default. Changed display to OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus disabled. Save, reboot, Fn/F7 and again no recognition of the HP monitor. Reboot, BIOS etc, and the display option is back to the original default.
What do I need to do to get NVIDIA and the external monitor working on this W520?
Thank you.

Hi RR
1. Ensure your BIOS is set to NVIDIA Optimus for multiple monitor connectivity.
2. Download and update your Intel and NVIDIA driver from it's official website. Clicking Intel and NVIDIA will link directly to the download page for latest driver.
3. If the 2 above succeed, but Fn+F7 still can't display your external monitor. Try right click Desktop > NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Set up multiple displays. (The only workable method for W520 - Windows 8.1)

Tabs and Ask Toolbar Conflict

Sorry, but I am new to this forumn and don't know how to post a comment that may save time for some folks. About a week ago I posted a problem concerning creating multpple tabs and saving them. I cna't find that posting again, but the answer I got worked until the next update.
At that time I was using FF3.6.14 and the Ask toolbar. Removing it as suggested worked. Later I installed the FF 3.6.15 update and all still worked. Last night I recieved an update of the Ask toolbar.
Upon installing that latest toolbar, I again had the same problem with tabs.
It would appear that the lastest version of FF and Ask still conflict.

Did you create a new profile?
You can try to click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup.

Lightbox and jquery.js conflict

Hi I have a query.js and a lightbox.js javascripts running on the same page and they are conflicting. They both work great seperately but when combined the scripts stop working.
I found a forum that is closed that reference's this solution:
   <script>
     jQuery.noConflict();
     // Use jQuery via jQuery(...)
     jQuery(document).ready(function(){
       jQuery("div").hide();
     // Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
     $('someid').hide();
   </script>
However, I am unsure of what to do with it. The forum referenced changing the name of the 'someid' but I don't know what to change it to.
Here is my conflicting codes:
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/lightbox.js"></script>
   <script>
     jQuery.noConflict();
     // Use jQuery via jQuery(...)
     jQuery(document).ready(function(){
       jQuery("div").hide();
     // Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
     $('someid').hide();
   </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
            jQuery(document).ready(function(){
                //To switch directions up/down and left/right just place a "-" in front of the top/left attribute
                //Caption Sliding (Partially Hidden to Visible)
                jQuery('.boxgrid.caption').hover(function(){
                    jQuery(".cover", this).stop().animate({top:'50px'},{queue:false,duration:160});
                }, function() {
                    jQuery(".cover", this).stop().animate({top:'300px'},{queue:false,duration:160});
        </script>
