Retroarch is crashing

Hey guys, I'm having a little issue here with Retroarch. I don't know if it's a dependency/package issue or a driver problem.
When trying to run Retroarch, I just got a black screen and then it crashes.
I have seen some issues like that happening with the steam client in the forum, but none of them helped me.

That's my output for Retroarch:

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

Then some stuff that may help:

sudo pacman -Qs libgl
local/lib32-libglade 2.6.4-7
    Allows you to load glade interface files in a program at runtime (32-bit)
local/lib32-libglvnd 1.1.0-1
    The GL Vendor-Neutral Dispatch library
local/lib32-mesa 18.3.1-1
    An open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification (32-bit)
local/lib32-nvidia-utils 415.25-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities (32-bit)
local/libglade 2.6.4-6
    Allows you to load glade interface files in a program at runtime
local/libglvnd 1.1.0-1
    The GL Vendor-Neutral Dispatch library
local/mesa 18.3.1-1
    An open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification
local/nvidia-utils 415.25-1

sudo pacman -Q nvidia
nvidia 415.25-3

Any guess?

Hello,

At first glance:

libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

It's attempting to load 'swrast', which is a software rasterizer that runs on the CPU, you might want to include you GPU device vendor.

lspci | grep -i vga

There here is:

lspci | grep -i vga

Re: Retroarch is crashing

I'm assuming that is a Desktop PC? And what are the contents of /etct/pacman.conf?

In mean time, have look at the open source stack here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/nouveau or the proprietary stack here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA. To properly configure and enable hardware opengl for that card.

Re: Retroarch is crashing

Did you have the lib32 nvidia packages?  I don't see all of them in your output

Re: Retroarch is crashing

The log doesn't suggest an issue w/ the gl setup, to be sure please also paste the output of glxinfo (part of the mesa-demos package)
Also try to move ~/.config/retroarch away to see whether this is your retroarch config trying to create some wacko visual.
