Description:
After this update games and other OpenGL apps aren't starting anymore, they hang at startup and do nothing (even a very simple SDL2 + OpenGL test C app I wrote myself which just changes clear color)...
KWin works though, but when I go in the Compositor settings in the control panel the window hangs...
This seems to happen particularly when there are two OpenGL apps open at the same time... (for example, if I try to start two blender instances, the second hangs indefinitely)

It even prevents the logout / shutdown window of plasma to appear!

I've tried debugging with gdb my little test app and I found that it hangs here:
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

Additional info:
nvidia: 375.20-1
kwin: 5.8.3-1

My test C app:

Steps to reproduce:
Open two OpenGL apps (for example, even two instances of blender, or glxgears + blender)

I tried with Budgie and Cinnamon, and there everything seems to work correctly...
I suspect then it's something KDE-related...
The package kwin was updated on november 1st (5.8.2-1 -> 5.8.3-1), but when I updated nvidia there were also the new version of the KDE Frameworks 5 packages (5.28.0-1)

Thanks Darek, it is exactly my issue...
Should this issue be closed then?

Just wanted to say, yup, have the same issue on my gtx970.

When I get home I will try to downgrade - I believe it is just going back to even the last beta (375.10), and then probably need to roll the kernel back, too.

375.20 should be removed from repo. It breaks systems, destroys locking screen in KDE (no overlay, can see my desktop, but no input possible - need to usw. CLI to remove the lock). 375.10 works OpenGL.

List of packages, if somebody wants to downgrade (/var/cache/pacman/pkg/ or from arch archive):
extra/opencl-nvidia
extra/libxnvctrl
extra/nvidia
extra/nvidia-libgl
extra/nvidia-settings
extra/nvidia-utils
multilib/lib32-nvidia-libgl
multilib/lib32-nvidia-utils
multilib/lib32-opencl-nvidia

Agreed - Nvidia is recommending users to downgrade to the 375.10 version until a fix can be made (per the discussion link above). If manually downgrading you also need to go back to kernel 4.8.8-2 (unless you have dkms setup).

I downgraded the packages to 375.10 and while this bug seems fixed, Steam doesn't want to start (the steam process just starts and then does nothing)...

EDIT: Sorry my bad, now it works...

Meanwhile even the download link to 375.20 has been removed from the Nvidia website.
Comment by Craig (Hazey) - Monday, 05 December 2016, 23:28 GMT
Yea would hope can remove/roll all these back from the Arch repos as essentially 375.20 has been deleted as a release
Comment by f (bakgwailo) - Friday, 09 December 2016, 05:01 GMT
So, I agree that Arch should roll back to 375.10 (as per Nvidia on the thread on devtalk), I would like to point out that the 375.20 is still very much live on Nvidia's website, and as far as I know it was never removed - there isn't even a warning on it.

With the new driver update (375.26), this bug seems to be fixed (GTX 970), at least for me...
