[SOLVED] Nvidia 346.35-3 breaks X

Starting with nvidia 346.35-2, X would not start.  Like others, I would hang at [OK] Reached target graphical interface.  Today's upgrade to 346.35-3 did not fix the issue either

Installed currently:
nvidia         346.35-3
nvidia-utils 346.35-2

Things I've tried:
* generating a minmal 20-nvidia.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
            -still hangs at [OK] Reached target graphical interface
* running nvidia-xconfig
            -same as above
* disabling gdm and using startx with .xinitrc
            - X fails to launch and results in: "gnome-session: error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared obect file: No such file or direcctory.  xinit: connection to X server lost"



If I look in dmesg and grep for nvidia

None of the solutions mentioned in other posts have worked.  Any suggestions?

I tried it agian but to no effect.  I did verify that a new xorg.conf was generated.
Relevant section in xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"

Your section seems incomplete (at least BusID is missing). Mine is:

Could there be some old config file(s) somewhere cause this not to work?

I updated mine according to what I found with lspci but still the same results.

There is still nothing compelling in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or dmesg.

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia 346.35-3 breaks X

Do you use stock kernel or lts kernel?

Anyway, I had this some time ago when I downgraded/upgraded the drivers several times, trying to work around the mutter screen refresh bug.
You may try to downgrade nvidia, nvidia-utils and nvidia-libgl altogether, try to reboot and see if it works, and then try to update once again. At the time it worked for me, no explanation why, though.

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia 346.35-3 breaks X

I had exactly the same problem after an update today, and appear to have solved it.

I'm not sure which step did this; the removal of nvidia-opengl stands out.
According to pacman.log, this is what I did: I removed nvidia, nvidia-opengl, nvidia-libgl and mesa, and then reinstalled all of them apart from nvidia-opengl.

That's strange, there is no nvidia-opengl package in official repos...

Ah, hm. I see that pacman logs the command even if the package does not exist; I must have mistyped the package and continued!
It's probably as sl1pkn07 said then: nvidia-libgl.

Re: [SOLVED] Nvidia 346.35-3 breaks X

is there an easy way to update the mirrorlist for downgrade so that i can attempt to go back a few kernel/driver versions?

That isn't how Arch works. Read the downgrading page on the wiki.

Arch + dwm   •   Mercurial repos  •   Surfraw

startx gives a little more info:
if I search the system for libEGL.so.1 I get:

/usr/lib/mesa/libEGL.so.1
/usr/lib/nvidia/libEGL.so.1
/usr/lib32/libEGL.so.1
/usr/lib32/mesa/libEGL.so.1
/usr/lib32/nvidia/libEGL.so.1

try reinstall 'nvidia-libgl' if the file '/usr/lib/libEGL.so.1' is missing


Bingo, that did it!  Thank you sir.

In summary:

As per sl1pkn07's suggestion, I removed nvidia-libgl
1) clear package cache

sudo pacman -Scc

2) re-install nvidia and nvidia-libgl

sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-libgl

Thank you to everyone for the numerous and quick responses and suggestions.

No need to clear your whole package cache, it may come in handy.

Yeah, I wish I didn't do it.
