Arch Linux

Also in Dota2
'Missing Basic OpenGL v1.0 -> v2.0 required OpenGL functionality.

Insurgency too.

The problem is the new GLVND [1] library (GL Vendor Neutral Dispatch) libGL.so.1.0.0, which doesn't have the previous attributes of the libGL.so.$pkgver (libGL.so.361.28) that fall outside the official Linux OpenGL ABI [2]. Those are now in separate libraries. For some reason, this wasn't as big of an issue in 361.16/18, where they didn't include the old libGL.so.$pkgver in the .run package for compatibility.

However, it will only remain there during the 361.xx series, after which not only will the new GLVND libGL.so.1.0.0 be installed by default, but the old libGL.so.$pkgver will be removed as well. [3]

So I think it means we should have another libgl provider in the repos as an alternative to the nvidia-libgl - glvnd-libgl https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd
There is no need to wait when Nvidia would change glvnd to default in next releases, since the option would be there arch needs to provide an option.

Same with CS GO, I can no longer launch it.

Upstream has requested us to enable libglvnd by default.

I have made a new pkgrel for this. Note that the following packages are totally untested (I don't have an nvidia machine during Chinese Lunar New Year).

If you would like to test, please install nvidia-libgl and nvidia-utils from here:

http://pkgbuild.com/~fyan/staging/

and let me know if they work.

Doesn't seem like those packages provide libGL.so, libGLdispatch.so, etc. at all?

They don't. The mentioned libraries are in a separate libglvnd package, which is a dependency of nvidia-libgl.

Bad idea mix and match version of the NVIDIA driver with different versions of libglvnd.

It's a month old and our nvidia friend told me otherwise just recently. I'll check again.

Sorry about the confusion

I have installed the packages from Felix Yan's repo, which also pulled in lib32-libglvnd and libglvnd from the official repos, but the problem remains the same.
Counter Strike Source doesn't start. Portal 2 however does.

Here is the official statement by NVIDIA concerning the new driver release and its use of glvnd.

Yes, I posted that already.

>Upstream has requested us to enable libglvnd by default.

The seems weird since the linked press release implies otherwise.

Not true.

"While it may be preferable in the short term to continue shipping the non-GLVND variant to maximize compatibility, repackagers are encouraged to provide GLVND driver packages at the earliest possible opportunity, both to promote adoption of the new driver infrastructure, and to help identify additional problematic applications."

The issue is a bit worse with optimus laptops since mesa-libgl conflicts with glvnd
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1603538#p1603538
Edit: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48123
It already has a bug filled. This update broke a lot of stuff :/

As a workaround for these games, threaded optimizations can be disabled in their .sh launcher:
export __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=0

Alternatively, the environment variable __GLVND_DISALLOW_PATCHING will work too (and also appears to fix issues in a few other games that don't work with libglvnd yet).
__GLVND_DISALLOW_PATCHING=1

hey arthur,
to verify, ideally -long term- this needs to be fixed at app level, for example, dota is one of the affected items, so valve would need to patch dota?

Yes, as per the twice linked announcement by Nvidia.

The particular issue with source engine games seems to be that the driver is misreporting the opengl version as 0.0.0, so I imagine it's going to need fixes on the driver side as well.

Det & Alex, cheers thank you.

dan ginsburg of valve on dota2 bug thread.

"We have heard back from NVIDIA. They have confirmed this is a driver bug impacting the libglvnd-enabled driver (nobody but Archlinux at the moment). The driver bug will be fixed in a future release. For now, they recommend setting __GLVND_DISALLOW_PATCHING=1 as a workaround, although also setting __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=0 will work (although potentially more perf impact)."

I found a workaround;
While they don't update the drivers, you can downgrade to a working version doing the following in a terminal:
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/;
sudo pacman -U linux-4.3.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz nvidia-358.16-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz nvidia-utils-358.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz bbswitch-0.8-39-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz --force;

if it says that some package needs linux>=4.4 or anything else, just put into the list of downgrading

I'm playing my games normally now

Don't do the downgrade form last post. It'll break the opengl links. If you find yourself stranded in terminal, upgrade back to latest and reinstall libglvnd and nvidia-libgl

For anyone doing the downgrade I had no issues doing a git pull of the 361.18 nvidia PKGBUILDS and recompiling them with makepkg. I used the nvidia-beta packages from AUR as I already had them downloaded but should work for the standard one too.

I tried "__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=0 optirun wine RA3EP1.exe" and "__GLVND_DISALLOW_PATCHING=1 optirun wine RA3EP1.exe".
It still doesn't work. I got "err:wgl:has_opengl glAccum not found in libGL, disabling OpenGL."

I fixed my problem by downgrading virtualgl to 2.4.1. It seems like my problem has a different reason. Sorry.

Well, we all know this is an upstream problem by now (either Valve or NVIDIA) but nothing we can fix. I added some info to the Steam wiki article about this issue. I don't think there is anything else left to do here. Closing.
