[SOLVED] Upgrading mesa-libgl to nvidia-libgl

So I have a nvidia 650 ti graphics card, and when I do "pacman -S nvidia-libgl", I replace the mesa-libgl package fine, but whenever I reboot. Gnome gives me a graphical failure screen with the only option being a button prompting me to log out. I also have the nvidia package installed (nvidia 349.16-3).

System Specs :
- System, Arch Linux 64-bit (4.0.2-1-ARCH)
- Processor, Intel® Core™ i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz × 8
- Memory, 16Gb
- NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 650 Ti] (but gnome says "Graphics: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.6, 256 bits)")

Did you look in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what the error is ?

Yes, nothing looks particularly useful. Here are the two files.

Re: [SOLVED] Upgrading mesa-libgl to nvidia-libgl

I have come to the conclusion that this is a bug in Gnome and GDM current verisons of May 24th 2015. Same system boots normaly in KDE for me.
