[SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

Hello Everyone,
Today, computer hibernated because of low battery. But this time, when I
booted up again, SDDM wouldn't start. GDM wouldn't start either. I got it to work with LXDM, but the only DE I could get working was XFCE. I do not like using XFCE, so tried plasma. Plasma complained:

Plasma is unable to start as it cannot correctly use OpenGL 2.
Please check your graphics driver is set up correctly then try again.

I checked Xorg.0.log, and I saw nothing useful. If you still need it:

Can you help get my graphics working?

Edit: I forgot to put 1 word in the plasma error message. Fixed.

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

Is that the entire log?  Seems truncated

Too bad we don't know anything about your graphics subsystem....  Like who made it, model number, drivers loaded, hybrid or not, ....

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

Is the intel driver (xf86-video-intel) installed? If not, try it and report back.

Edit: Ignore this, apparently it won't bring you closer to resolving your problem (see V1del's post below; thanks for the heads-up!)

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

That won't help. OpenGL has nothing to do with xf86-video-intel per se. FWIW based on the two threads it sounds like something might be a bit broken in general on your  system  Can you post a pacman.log as well as

journalctl -b
pacman -Qkk
pacman -Qs mesa
pacman -Qs nvidia

As has been asked by jason, why was screenfetch looking for the nvidia module? Do you have nvidia-utils installed for some reason? Remove it.

journalctl -b:
Click Here
pacman -Qkk:
Click Here

$ pacman -Qs mesa

local/glu 9.0.0-5
    Mesa OpenGL Utility library
local/lib32-glu 9.0.0-3
    Mesa OpenGL utility library (32 bits)
local/mesa 18.1.1-1
    An open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification
local/opencl-mesa 18.1.1-1
    OpenCL support for AMD/ATI Radeon mesa drivers

$ pacman -Qs nividia

local/lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils 340.106-2
    NVIDIA drivers utilities (32-bit)
local/libvdpau 1.1.1+3+ga21bf7a-1
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia-340xx-utils 340.106-2
    NVIDIA drivers utilities

And finally, Pacman.log:
Click Here

You did ask me to remove nvidia-utils, but as pacman -Qs nvidia reported that there was only nvidia-340xx-utils and lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils, I assume you wanted me to remove those, but it breaks some dependencies:

$ sudo pacman -Rsn nvidia-340xx-utils
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils: removing nvidia-340xx-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-340xx-utils'

$ sudo pacman -Rsn lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-glu: removing lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils breaks dependency 'lib32-libgl'

Edit: With @loqs's and @robg's help, I was able to remove both the nvidia-utils by installing lib32-mesa and xf86-video-intel.

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

Install lib32-mesa that should remove lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils then you can remove nvidia-340xx-utils.

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

Ok, after rebooting, I was able to get cinnamon, my desktop of choice running. But it runs in software rendering mode. Is there a way to enable hardware acceleration? (This didn't happen before the problem)

Meanwhile, marking as solved.

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

Does it work now? Please mark as [SOLVED] if it works now.

FWIW wrt xf86-video-intel not only is it often reccommended against on sufficiently modern intel cards, specifically if you want to use plasma there are some known issues that are unlikely to be fixed on either side, so the modesetting driver which is used if no other driver is explicitly installed is the way to go on such a setup.

Edit: In that case you might want to post a

glxinfo | grep OpenGL #Needs mesa-demos

in addition to the updated info loqs talks about.

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

You have not posted any updated outputs to diagnose the cinnamon issue such as an updated Xorg.log and the output of glxinfo now.
Are all the nvidia packages now removed?

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble With openGL

Update: I removed xf86-video-intel and now the software rendering notification is gone. Thank you for your help.
