[SOLVED]mesa 18.3.1-1 crashes xorg on startup, downgrade steam crash

CPU and GPU Info

 
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx (8) @ 2.000GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series

After my last system-upgrade my system actually froze right before showing sddm.
journalctl shows this error

So I downgraded via an boot usb to 18.2.5-1 and my system is booting normally.

After some time i tried to run steam and run in following error

OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display
OpenGL GLX extension not supported by displayMain.cpp (332) : Assertion Failed: Fatal Error: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display
Main.cpp (332) : Assertion Failed: Fatal Error: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1546909276)
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/$LIB/libgpg-error.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Steam was running before absolutely fine. So I wanted to check glxinfo.

name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

Xorg has this error in its log

[    33.582] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (libsensors.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[    33.582] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver swrast
[    33.582] (EE) GLX: could not load software renderer

Now what I got from the internet is, that the error in journalctl is out of my hands, "bad luck". I dont quite understand why the GLX is broken with the downgrade.

Re: [SOLVED]mesa 18.3.1-1 crashes xorg on startup, downgrade steam crash

Did you actually downgrade all packages involved in the update? Post your entire /var/log/pacman.log you likely missed a few, or the freeze lead to data corruption you might want to post/check

pacman -Qkk

wait, on rereading, did you downgrade just mesa? That can easily lead to issues. FWIW I'd suggest you update everything again, but install/switch to linux-lts to get a working amdgpu, as I don't think mesa is at fault here.

Re: [SOLVED]mesa 18.3.1-1 crashes xorg on startup, downgrade steam crash

yes i just downgraded the mesa packages. Gonna try the lts kernel.

Works perfectly fine with the lts kernel and newest mesa driver. Thanks!

/e:
Ok some important information regarding the AMD Ryzen form this German Lenovo board. https://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/21755 … ost2176002

boot parameters: ivrs_ioapic[32]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[33]=00:00.1 libata.force=1:nohrst iommu=pt

ivrs_ioapic: corrected IOMMU addresses in BIOS

libata.force: No hardware reset at the SATA controller. So you can get your system out of suspend

iommu=pt: pass through for iommu, without this option X doesn't work since kernel 4.20.0

I am on the current kernel again with newest mesa and X as well as steam are working properly.
