I've read threads on this before but this time nvidia-utils is being asked to be removed. I'm not sure if removing nvidia-utils is safe. Before, reading some threads on here, I had to set libgl to ignore to get nvidia-utils to install.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

What graphics card do you have?
Nvidia provides their own libgl implementation therefore is in conflict with the regular libgl. Yes, removing nvidia-utils is safe but you need that package if you want to use proprietary nvidia drivers.

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

I have a nvidia 8200m. I'm not sure what my course of action should be here and how to execute it.

Should I set an ignore on libgl and continue as normal or remove nvidia and use the regular libgl. I'm not sure the quality of differences between the two.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

It's not the recunt update that bought conflict: they are like this since years, it's normal. If you want to use official binary driver from NVIDIA, then remove libgl. It's safe, as they provide theirs implementation of that: you can see with pacman that nvidia package provides libgl.

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

Hello,
i currently have the same problem as 6msj on with my nVidia NVS4200M Optimus:

$ pacman -Suy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: libgl and nvidia-utils are in conflict. Remove nvidia-utils? [y/N] N
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: libgl and nvidia-utils are in conflict

Last time i updated via 'pacman -Suy' that problem did not occur. Seems to me that one of the updates wants to fetch libgl even if it possibly shouldn't. Is there some way to check what's the package in question?

Best regards,
David

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

pacman -Qs dri

i suspect you guys installed all xorg group which include all video drivers available and somehow you forced installing nvidia-utils


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

Hello,

[root@shelly tresh]# pacman -Qs dri
local/intel-dri 7.11-2
    Mesa DRI drivers for Intel
local/libirman 0.4.5-2
    Irman driver lcd library
local/nvidia 285.05.09-1
    NVIDIA drivers for linux.
local/nvidia-utils 285.05.09-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities and libraries.
local/xf86-input-evdev 2.6.0-4 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    X.org evdev input driver
local/xf86-video-fbdev 0.4.2-5 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    X.org framebuffer video driver

Thats the whole output i get. I don't understand what do you mean by "all xorg group" and "forced installing nvidia-utils". I am using the binary nvidia driver because nouveau did not work for me. As far as i understand nvidia depends on nvidia-utils.

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

you have intel-dri  installed which has libgl dependency versioned. that package was updated recently and wants a newer libgl but it can't install it because nvidia-utils is installed.

solution: pacman -R intel-dri

@tresh better run testdb and see if you have more dependencies problem

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

@6msj do

pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qqs xorg-drivers | grep -v xf86-input-evdev)

next time guys stop installing xorg group and read the wiki. only xorg-server + your driver is enough this days

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

Just had to add , this  occurs even for users who do not have the xorg group installed , i had only nouveau and the nvidia blob installed all was well until a recent update then i too was having these conflicts , removing nouveau fixed it for me.

Same as cirrus here.
Don't remember why I kept nouveau, when I installed nvidia. If everything will work without it that's fine for me smile Updating now...

Re: [SOLVED] Libgl and Nvidia-Utils are in conflict with the mos

I confirm that only by removing nouveau I got rid of that issue. Btw. certain use cases require to have both installed e.g. trying to fix an issue with the nvidia driver.

Worked for me:

pacman -Rns xf86-video-nouveau

Then pacman -Syu

And vesa wouldn't work for that? Raise a bug if you feel this is really required, but it would require quite a bit of symlink hackery to have both nouveau and nvidia installed and usable on the same system, last I checked. Not something which can be easily automated by packages.

My laptop has optimus so intel and nvidia drivers are required, any idea how to proceed?
