[fixed] Xorg broke after sytem upgrade

So once again I'm back in the newbie corner because I broke my system with an upgrade.
When trying to start Xorg I get the following:

 
error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-tls.so.361.28: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 
        xinit: connection to X server lost

Can anyone help me fix this? This stops xorg from loading completely.

Re: [fixed] Xorg broke after sytem upgrade

Which version of nvidia utils do you have installed?

Arch is at 364.19.

Is your system up-to-date?

Re: [fixed] Xorg broke after sytem upgrade

My system is up to date, I did a pacman -Syu which caused my trouble.

pacman -Q nvidia
nvidia 364.19-1

Re: [fixed] Xorg broke after sytem upgrade

That driver is old, where did you get that from? Did you install nvidia manually? What's the output of

pacman -Qs nvidia

EDIT: Ninja'd but still post that will contain more relevant info

EDIT2: going through your earlier threads, have you made sure to properly mount your EFI partition now? this has symptoms of kernel version mismatches again

pacman -Q linux
uname -r

Have you rebooted between the last update and now? you should do that whenever there's a nvidia and/or kernel update.

pacman -Qs gives

 
local/lib32-nvidia-libgl 364.19-1 
  NVIDIA drivers libraries symlinks (32-bit) 
local/lib32-nvidia-utils 364.19-1
  NVIDIA drivers utilities (32-bit) 
local/libvdpau 1.1.1-2
  Nvidia VDPAU library 
local/nvidia 364.19-1
  NVIDIA drivers for linux 
local/nvidia-libgl 364.19-1
  NVIDIA drivers libraries symlinks
local/nvidia-utils 364.19-1
  NVIDIA drivers utilities

Do you have /var/log/nvidia-installer.log? If so, please post it's content.

Re: [fixed] Xorg broke after sytem upgrade

Which means you've installed the drivers from nvidia's site, outside of pacman.

Re: [fixed] Xorg broke after sytem upgrade

So I should remove nvidia, and install latest version from pacman?

Re: [fixed] Xorg broke after sytem upgrade

You already have the latest version from pacman installed. The problem is a conflict between that and what you installed from nvidia's site. You need to pick one or the other. I would suggest using it from pacman, which means getting rid of anything installed from nvidia's site and not doing that again.

Yes of course! Always use pacman unless you absolutely cannot.Pacman does a fantastic job at taking care of seemingly useless things like dependencies, logs, errors, what packages you've installed, orphans, versions and version conflicts, and much much more. If you don't use pacman (or its helpers/GUI frontends) you are taking a real risk at hosing your system. With that said, un-untsalling the nvidia driver now is going to be super tedious because you can't simply pacman -R nvidia-<whatever>, because pacman doesn't know what to look for. I hope I've made my point clear, lol. Anyhow, I'm not sure how you should proceed in this case... But I hope you can get pack up and running with a functional system soon !

Re: [fixed] Xorg broke after sytem upgrade

Thank you all soo much, I was actually able to fix this very quick after Scimmia's helpfull comment.
The nvidia version of the drivers included a program called nvidia-uninstall. after runnig that, a pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils and a reboot everything worked again.
