Graphical driver issue No OpenGL context found in the current thread.

Hello

I am a new Arch Linux user and I got into an issue today, I wanted to play Minecraft but I got an error:

I have 2 laptops, this one a Lenovo Y50-70 (hybrid graphics) and an asus e200ha (intel atom) I installed arch linux on them exact same process. But Minecraft does not work on this laptop it does work on the Asus. I don't have installed nouveau on both laptops.

I reinstalled Java / Minecraft, I have installed: intel-gpu-tools, mesa and I run i3 with compton. I don't want to install nvidia drivers, I can play Minecraft in for example Ubuntu without installing Nvidia. So I must have forgotten something but I can't figure out what. I know hybrid graphics on a laptop are not supported very well on Linux but there must be a way to make it work.

OpenGL version:

OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.4

Greetings

Hybrid graphics are supported pretty well. Why don't you want to install nVidia drivers? If you want to use that card you either have to have nVidia or Nouveau (not as good of performance).

Well I had bumblebee installed in the past when I ran Fedora but it got me cpu increase over time and cpu spikes. Which software comes to mind when you are thinking about hybrid laptop graphics? You mean Prime?

output of glxinfo | grep -i opengl ?

(glxinfo comes with mesa-demos package)

Those look normal.

Do you have xorg-xrandr installed ? if not, install it.

sevaho · 2017-04-30 17:21:36

Yes I have. I have installed nouveau but still nothing.

seth · 2017-04-30 19:40:53

not "nouveau", "xorg-xrandr". minecraft relies on that userspace tool.
While at it: "xrandr -q" and "glxinfo -l" (in code tags, latter is a hell lot of text)

sevaho · 2017-04-30 20:27:55

"that" userspace tool? So to be clear I did the exact same install on both laptops, I want to post the output's of xrandr and glxinfo but they are normal. I have no clue what the problem is, I tested some other games like 0ad and that works out of the box.

seth · 2017-04-30 20:43:58

That "xrandr", yes.
The idea is that your current resolution exceeds limitations of the IGP (thus please notice the "-l" switch)

0ad is implemented on SDL and not java - its no way comparable just because it's a game ...

Hello, I just wanted to say that the installing `xrandr` fixed the issue for me on Fedora 41.
