[SOLVED] VLC crash with libGL not found

Sergeif · 2018-09-24 17:37:15

Hi all,

I'm new to Arch. Need help with VLC player. Each time I'm trying to play a movie, it crashes. When I run it from terminal it shows that libGL is not found.

VLC media player 3.0.4 Vetinari (revision 3.0.4-0-gf615db6332)
[000055f7c486a8a0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
libGL error: pci id for fd 19: 80ee:beef, driver (null)
libGL error: No driver found
libGL error: failed to load driver: (null)

Arch installed on Virtualbox.
Please suggest on how to fix.

post pacman -Qs virtualbox-guest please.

Is the host running the same virtualbox version ?

If yes, post LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo output

local/virtualbox-guest-modules-arch 5.2.18-11
    Virtualbox guest kernel modules for Arch Kernel
local/virtualbox-guest-utils 5.2.18-1
    VirtualBox Guest userspace utilities

The host is running v 5.2.10

Virtualbox guest additions are intended to work with the exact same version on the host.
Upgrade virtualbox on the host to the same version as archlinux guest addtions (5.2.18) also check virtualbox host gui to verify you have enabled HW acceleration for this VM.

Upgraded and HW acceleration is enabled. Nothing changed

Time to investigate the quest settings then.

post LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo , xorg log , dmesg and/or journal from a boot.

Which WM/DE are you using ?
If you use startx post ~/.xinitrc , if you use a display manager (gdm,sddm, lxdm etc) which one ?

Thank you for the help. I fixed it. All I had to do is change the video output in the settings to X11 from Auto. By default it was trying to use OpenGL. Not sure why it didn't work, but changing this to anything else but Auto and OpenGL works.

That was a change in Vbox host settings for the VM ?

Please edit your first post and prepend [solved] to the title.

No. It was in the VLC player settings.
