[SOLVED] GLX not loading

UPDATE: I think I've narrowed it down to a glx issue. When I try to run glxinfo

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

I also get errors when trying to launch games or glxgears.

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Tried reinstalling mesa-libgl, xf86-video-intel intel-dri xorg-server{,-common}

SOLUTION
--------------------------------------------------
Reinstalling the packages didn't work so used the abs to rebuild xorg-server and mesa and install all related built packages.

ORIGINAL POST
--------------------------------------------------

All updates with pacman -Syu. When I run startx with exec gnome-session it starts the xserver and then I get a screen that says Oops! Something when wrong, try logging out and back in.

If I try to start gdm I get the same thing, but this time something in journalctl

journalclt -b /usr/bin/gdm

Here's the Xserver log

And systemctl status gdm

I've been stuck on this for a few hours now. I've tried reinstalling everything, downloading them fresh. The Xserver works for openbox fine. I really need some help getting gnome working again.

Re: [SOLVED] GLX not loading

I ran into your post a number of hours ago while trying to solve the same error message after upgrading, and I'm pleased to say I finally got things working again! I love gnome on that note, but I'm not a fan of how little and non-descriptive the gdm error messages have become...

So once I'd narrowed the issue down to not being exclusive to this release or Arch, I started expanding my searches and eventually found http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=84115, which talks about a bash completion script getting loaded in /etc/profile, so I took a look and while I didn't find exactly that in my own setup, I did have a script in /etc/profile.d that loaded RVM (Ruby Version Manager) with a line that looked like: "[[ -f "${USERHOME}/.rvm/script/completion" ]] && source ${USERHOME}/.rvm/scripts/completion", and after removing the script and trying again to login (without needing to reboot or anything else), GDM logged me in for the first time since the upgrade.

Anyway, I feel your pain and have my fingers crossed it's the same thing for you- either way, good luck!

Re: [SOLVED] GLX not loading

It's strange that I've been using gnome 3.12 since it was in testing and everything was fine. I can't launch gdm, and kdm loads but the gnome-session will fail if I try to launch it from kdm.

I'm not seeing any weird scripts in /etc/profile.d

It looks like GLX is not working correctly, trying to figure out how to fix it.

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