Re: [solved] Xorg quits after 'startx' no error message

Create and update the locate database.
Post the output of

pacman -Qs i3
ls -l /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1
ls -l /usr/lib/mesa/libEGL.so.1

Re: [solved] Xorg quits after 'startx' no error message

OK so with back ticks,

LibEGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1 (0x00007f4f7acc4000)
Yes it exists

Pacman -Qs

Local/dri3proto 1.0-1
      X11 dri3 protocol
Local/i3-wm 4.9.1-1 (i3)
      An improved dynamic tiling window manager
Local/i3lock 2.6-1 (i3)
      An improved screenlocker based upon xcb and pam
Local/i3status 2.8-2 (i3)
      Generated status bar to use with i3bar dzen2 or xmobar

Ls -l /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1
Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 mar 1 08:02 /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1 -> libEGL.so.346.47

Ls -l /usr/lib/mesa/libEGL.so.1
Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 mar 14 13:41 /usr/lib/mesa/libEGL.so.1 -> libEGL.so.1.0.0

Hope that helps

Re: [solved] Xorg quits after 'startx' no error message

It helps partially. Where does libEGL.so.346.47 point to? By that I mean what does this say

ls -l /usr/lib/libEGL.so.346.47

It should point to /usr/lib/nvidia/libEGL.so.346.47

It does point to that file path

Re: [solved] Xorg quits after 'startx' no error message

This seems very odd.  I don't know if this is the best next step, but if I was in this spot, I'd try to get strace output from i3.  Changing the xinitrc line to the following should do that, though I've never straced from within xinitrc:

#exec i3
strace i3 > ~/trace.log 2>&1

The top of trace.log should then show exactly when and how each of the libs are being accessed.

Re: [solved] Xorg quits after 'startx' no error message

This now officially makes no sense. Drivers are installed properly. X shows everything is ok. And yet, i3 can't find EGL, despite the files pointing to the correct places. Try something other than i3. And just to be sure (I'm thinking file corruption, as unlikely as it may be), reinstall nvidia-utils.

Re: [solved] Xorg quits after 'startx' no error message

Any chance these files are on a volume that is mounted with the noexec flag?

Re: [solved] Xorg quits after 'startx' no error message

@ ewaller, no everything is mounted with rwx.

@trilby, not sure what happened, but when I installed trace today, (I had to do a system update) and used that command, I was finally able to launch i3. I guess I'll marked this solved, even though it doesn't seem to be solved due to our troubleshooting. Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it.
