[Solved] Version mismatch between nvidia libGL.so and libnvidia-tls.so

I just updated my system (with pacman -Syu) and when I try to run certain programs like Blender I get the error

Version mismatch detected between the NVIDIA libGL.so
and libnvidia-tls.so shared libraries (libGL.so
version: 195.36.31; libnvidia-tls.so version: 195.36.15).
Please try reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

I have the following libnvidia-tls.so files:

/usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1
/usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.195.36.31
/usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1
/usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.195.36.15

I tried simply renaming the libraries in /usr/lib/tls to libnvidia-tls.so.*_BAK, and copying the two libnvidia-tls.so files from /usr/lib to /usr/lib/tls and I got a different error when trying to run Blender:

Compiled with Python version 2.6.2.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
GHOST_WindowX11.cpp:177: X11 glxChooseVisual() failed for OpenGL, verify working openGL system!
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Resource id in failed request:  0xb5918440
  Serial number of failed request:  21
  Current serial number in output stream:  22

Is the latest nvidia driver just buggy and so I should downgrade, or is something else the matter?

Thanks!

Re: [Solved] Version mismatch between nvidia libGL.so and libnvidia-tls.so

i guess you used nvidia installer and /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.195.36.15 is a leftover?

i'm saying that because we have that soname in /usr/lib and the location didn't changed for a long time

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Maybe?  I might have used the installer a while ago, but everything's been fine until I just ran pacman -Syu.  So would it be safe to delete everything in /usr/lib/tls?

check with pacman -Qo file and if no package owns them, delete them

Right so I did that and now I still get the same error as above -

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
GHOST_WindowX11.cpp:177: X11 glxChooseVisual() failed for OpenGL, verify working openGL system!
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)

i suggest to use the nvidia installer to remove nvidia from your system. reinstall the whole xorg group and install nvidia and nvidia utils using pacman

Re: [Solved] Version mismatch between nvidia libGL.so and libnvidia-tls.so

thanks to this topic I solved my problem:
after the failure of my /var due to reiserfs failure
I get pacman errors like that:

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/soundtouch-1.8.0-1/desc: No such file or directory

I solved it forcing the re-installation of the packages

So you necrobump a four year old solved thread with an empty post? Idiot.

Closing.
