Solved - Steam execution libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

ruthan · 2015-08-23 02:19:13

Hello,
i have installed lastest 4.1.5-1-ARCH 64bit driver+ lastest Nvidia 352.30 drivers, everything works fine (Include Unigine heaven 4 Linux Opengl Benchmark), only steam not working. I use able to install Steam client but i got execution error:
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Multilib enabled, Iris IGP and Optimus disabled, NV960, Brodwell 5675C CPU.

I have tried lots of hints from the Internet and wiki, usually all hints are about delete some lib or symlink, but nothing helped me to solve it. I suppose that other users from there solved it.

lib32-nvidia-libgl is probably what you need, and post the full output not just some last excerpt and list all the steps you have done so far as you potentially broke something

Thanks, installation of lib32-nvidia-libgl, realy fixes my problem, its shame that i didnt find it earlier in any guide. Problem was some mesa not proprietary libs were still in system after nvidia drivers installation and i needed to replace them by nvidia great blob.

Here is full output if someone else would meet same problem:

if you are running x86_64, you need the lib32 opt depends for your driver
if you are having problems with the steam license, remove .steam and .local/share/Steam
Optional dependencies for steam
lib32-mesa-dri: for open source driver users
lib32-catalyst-utils: for AMD Catalyst users

[ruthan@localhost ~]$ steam

// After this all runining.

Nvidia wiki page mentions it which the only guide you have to look at, for the future don't forget to post command output in [ code ] tags
