libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

[Avalanche]

OK just to get all of the usual fixes out of the way.

YES i have mesa-utils and libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 installed
YES I have export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a shell file that i use to launch steam

YES I can get glxgears to run

YES I have made symbolic links to ~/.steam/bin


this is the errors that I get when I start steam

and when i start CS:S

You have not installed the 32bit glx part of the nvidia-driver.
If you have used the installer from the nvidia-website, that must fail.

[Avalanche]

I have just installed the 310 Driver from Nvidia here is the output for CS;S

[instabilis]

Which distribution are you using? Ubuntu?

Where are you getting the driver from? Your distribution's repository?

[Avalanche]

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 I was using the xorg-edgers repo. But just installed 310 from the nvidia website as per towo01 instructions

[towo01]

Where you read, i have instructed you to install the driver from the website?

[Avalanche]

then what did you mean by "If you have used the installer from the nvidia-website, that must fail." I installed it from nvidia site and it did not fail

[arc| Gps]

I am on opeSUSE 12.3 64 bit HD 5750 Catalyst 13.3 beta 3
I might have the same problem.

But as soon as steam starts it complains about direct rendering.

Have mesa and mesa 32bit installed.

> Have mesa and mesa 32bit installed.

Why? You need the nvidia-gl-libs in 32bit versions.

[arc| Gps]

towo01 původně napsal:

> Have mesa and mesa 32bit installed.

Why? You need the nvidia-gl-libs in 32bit versions.

When using an amd card ?

[towo01]

Oh, then sorry i have overread this. The thread-starter was a guy with nvidia card.
For ATI it does even not make any sense if fglrx is used in the system, so even here must be the 32bit fglrx libs installed.

[arc| Gps]

For now my problem is solved by a re install of opensuse, leaving home partion in tact.
Then installed latest catalyst from the repo's 13.1

Before beta 6 was working well besides know bugs,

I am now going to install 13.4 which was released this week.

[The Wounded]

Well swrast is the software fallback renderer which will never produce anything that would be playable. but it sure looks like it is a driver issue here, looking at your last post where it states opengl 0.0.0 is usually something that happens when drivers get mixed up, you could try to uninstall the drivers and reinstall the most recent one. Also check that you system is not loading the DRI drivers from the nouveau package at boot time.

[whoozle]

I have the same problem with steam, and I have solved it. It does not work system wide(putting it into /etc/env.d/00opengl) , but it's sufficient to run steam via command line/alias or shortcut

You need to find the proper directory with nvidia libGL*.so files. I have those in /usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib and /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib

Then modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH as follows(note export):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib:/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib"

or run steam just like that:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib:/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib" steam

[babel]

I had the same problem and resolved it using this command found in the Arch Linux Wiki:

find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete

I had to run it twice: the first one in the first run and the second one just after steam unpacked the package (which makes me think I'll have to run it after every update).

Hope this helps.
