How to get OpenGL support in order to run a particular application?

When trying to run a particular program (redis-desktop-manager), I was getting some errors. The creator of the application when seeing the error output suggested that my current GPU driver doesn't support OpenGL. Below is what I've got installed so far that might be related to this.

On https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA it says something about lib32-nvidia-libgl, but when I try to install it I get a conflict saying that lib32-mesa-libgl is already installed. What's the simplest way to get OpenGL working? I don't do any gaming or anything that requires high-end graphics so something simple and with fewest changes to my current setup would be fine for my needs.

$ pacman -Qs nvidia

Re: How to get OpenGL support in order to run a particular application?

Have you tried uninstalling lib32-mesa-libgl and installing lib32-nvidia-libgl and then trying to run the program again?

Re: How to get OpenGL support in order to run a particular application?

Usually that error is either due to the program or to a wrong system configuration .

Are you using redis-desktop-manager or redis-desktop-manager-bin ?

please post lspci -k & glxinfo output .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: How to get OpenGL support in order to run a particular application?

I'm using redis-desktop-manager because redis-desktop-manager-bin appears to be outdated.

Haven't done so yet but will give it a try.

Re: How to get OpenGL support in order to run a particular application?

the glxinfo output tells us your graphics configuration is not setup correctly. You basically have no opengl at all atm.

Your system has an integrated intel videocard and a discrete nvidia card, that makes it a "hybrid graphics" system, more specifically an NVIDIA Optimus system.

Please read that wiki page thoroughly.
