[solved] nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict

Hi,

I know this topic has already been posted and marked [SOLVED], but it did not help me. I am trying to upgrade my ArchLinux on my DELL Latitude E6430 but have the following error :  http://pastebin.com/icVZJAqx.

Your help would be very appreciated, I am struggling with this problem since a week

Re: [solved] nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict

Guessing that you installed the proprietary drivers, try removing mesa-libgl and see what happens.

This information really should be on the wiki somewhere...

I think he's using mesa-libgl, otherwise he would get an error when thing to remove a package that's not present on his system.

Re: [solved] nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict

Ok, that clarifies what goes wrong :

lib32-nvidia-libgl requires nvidia-libgl which conflicts with mesa-libgl.

try to remove lib32-nvidia-libgl .
incase that fails because it's needed by other things, use "-Rdd" .

After the removal, try  pacman -Syu again.

It worked, but now that I restarted my computer, I can only be in console mode. I've got the following message:

brcmsmac bcma0:1: brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: arp filtering: 1 addresses (implement)

Also, when I try

setxkbmap fr

, I've got an error saying

Cannot open display "default display"

Re: [solved] nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict

First, if you did need to do "pacman -Rdd lib32-nvidia-libgl" do pacman -Syu lib32-mesa-libgl .

the brcmsmac driver has to do with network, should have no impact at all on starting multi-user.target or graphical.target.
(it also looks like a harmless message).

The setxkbmap command is intended to be run from inside an X environment, if you're not in X it's expected to fail.

-----------------------

Check dmesg and/or journalctl for graphics related errors.
Also login as user and run startx .
Search for errors you see , the solution may have already been found by someone else.

If you can't find the solution, start a new thread.
