[SOLVED] libgl problem

Hi. I've looked through this forum, and I know this is a pretty common problem, but mine is kinda different. I do pacman -Syu to update, and it shows me:

[root@mateusz-desktop ~]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...

[root@mateusz-desktop ~]#

When I do pacman -Rd (or -Rdd) libgl it shows me:

[root@mateusz-desktop ~]# pacman -Rdd libgl
error: 'libgl': target not found
[root@mateusz-desktop ~]#

So I can't remove libgl, it looks like it isn't installed, yet it causes conflicts. What's the problem?

Re: [SOLVED] libgl problem

Why are you running pacman as root? :-)

What packages need nvidia-utils or libgl?

libgl is about to be installed, that's why it causes conflict with the installed nvidia-utils.

libgl is about to be installed, that's why it causes conflict with the installed nvidia-utils.

I don't have sudo installed, I'm just used to running everything as root, and after I'm done with stuff I just log out.

nvidia-utils dependencies:

[root@mateusz-desktop ~]# pacman -R nvidia-utils

Re: [SOLVED] libgl problem

You need some drivers for you card: either nvidia + nvidia-utils or nouveau + libgl.
nvidia-utils provide libgl http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … k/PKGBUILD

Re: [SOLVED] libgl problem

i suspect you have some -dri packages installed. pacman -Qs dri and also type testdb

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I was away from my home. When I type pacman -Qs dri I get a rather long list of packages, should I post it here? When I type testdb I get this:

[10:03:41]-[mateusz in ~]$ testdb
missing dependency for ati-dri : libgl=7.10.2
missing dependency for intel-dri : libgl=7.10.2
missing dependency for mach64-dri : libgl=7.10.2

missing dependency for r128-dri : libgl=7.10.2
missing dependency for savage-dri : libgl=7.10.2
missing dependency for sis-dri : libgl=7.10.2
missing dependency for tdfx-dri : libgl=7.10.2

Re: [SOLVED] libgl problem

Remove all those -dri packages then -Syu nvidia nvida-utils (asuming you want to use the closed source drivers)

Imo the xorg group should be reworked or a new group made, it causes so much trouble when people do -S xorg.

Re: [SOLVED] libgl problem

Thanks, it worked. Though I noticed that after every pacman action (installing new package or updating) I get a warning in the end:

ldconfig: libraries libGL.so.270.26 and libGL.so.270.41.19 in directory /usr/lib have same soname but different type.

It doesn't cause any other errors or any trouble.

Okay nevermind. Deleted the files, warning is gone, everything working fine.

Re: [SOLVED] libgl problem

Zelva, please open a new thread.

Why do you have all these drivers installed? You should remove them and install only the one you need.

Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n] 

Is it good idea to press "yes"?

karol: I don't know why I have all these drivers. I use only nvidia.

Re: [SOLVED] libgl problem

do it!

you have those drivers because you didn't read the wiki and installed the whole xorg group instead of installing only xorg-server+nvidia
