[SOLVED] xreader crashes and can't find my nouveau_dri.so

I was not sure whether to post this as a bug report or as a forum topic. But in case it is caused by my system configuration I will try it here first.

I have an up to date arch system with XFCE on an 2012-ish 13'' macbook pro with integrated NVIDIA graphics, using the nouveau graphics driver. The PDF viewer that i have been using for a year,, xreader, won't run since a month or two, giving this error:

libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to open nouveau: /opt/lib32/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri//nouveau_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/:/opt/lib32/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/, suffix _dri)

I do have /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so. And when i create /opt/lib32/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/  and create a softlink to /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so there, xreader will run. But it seems to me this shouldn't be necessary.  Judging from the error, xreader does not have directory /usr/lib/dri/ in it's path. Is this a bug in xreader?

edit : replaced 'qpdf' with 'xreader' in my post.

qpdf is console tool. Did you mean qpdfview? Or maybe something else installed outside of main repo, like from AUR or else?

Here qpdf (console tool) and qpdfview work great; both are from main repo.

Re: [SOLVED] xreader crashes and can't find my nouveau_dri.so

You have a broken LD_LIBRARY_PATH or similar.

Post

printenv
grep -R LD_LIBRARY /etc/profile* 

also check .bashrc and similar

Re: [SOLVED] xreader crashes and can't find my nouveau_dri.so

I mistakenly thought qpdf was my pdf viewer, but it was actually xreader (v 3.8.2). I always open files with exo-open from the commandline, so I had no idea which application actually started. have edited my post.

output of printenv:

grep -R LD_LIBRARY /etc/profile* gives nothing. I tried it as root as well.

I did notice that I have a file /etc/profile.d/lib32-dri.sh that contained export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/:/opt/lib32/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/. Adding /usr/lib/dri/ fixes the problem.

Re: [SOLVED] xreader crashes and can't find my nouveau_dri.so

That file and generally that export should not exist and have no reason to add opt/lib32 as a path where do you have it from?

I have no idea where the file came from. I made a different topic about how to configure LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH.

Re: [SOLVED] xreader crashes and can't find my nouveau_dri.so

I removed /etc/profile.d/lib32-dri.sh and after a reboot xreader will start. So LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH does not seem to be set. Thanks.
