[Fixed] X server not starting glx

rhysperry111 · 2019-01-30 20:02:14

I am running i3 and cannot start compton. When I start compton from the command line it gives the error "glx_init ERROR: No GLX extension." Compton was previously working but I'm guessing it was broken when I upgraded my system. I am using Mesa as my graphics library.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

You did not mention manually removing lm_sensors skipping all dependency checks.

I reinstalled it and now everything works. Thank U very much for your help! I am also sorry for not mentioning not removing lm sensors

I did it because I was using my mobile data and did not want to install some of the larger packages.
