Linux Mint 16. GLX problems after last package upgrade.

[kio.marv]

Hi,

I installed a few months ago Linux Mint 16 Petra with the MATE environment in my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro). Everything worked fine (aside some minor problems with caja and sound preview). After a few package upgrades (i.e: sudo apt-get upgrade), now when I open totem or anything that uses GLX, that application will crash.

Here are a few outputs from the terminal:

TOTEM: (at least VLC works properly)

And I could go on with StealthBastard Deluxe and so.

These applications worked fine until two weeks ago when I last upgraded the system. Is there any solution for these problems out there?

My graphics card is an Ati Mobility Radeon HD 4500. Here are some more outputs that might be useful:

Is this a big problem or is it solvable? I'm totally clueless.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello, kio.marv.

Can we get a nice concise hard- and software overview generated by

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

please? It will among other things tells us what Mint thinks about your graphics card, which driver it loads and whether or not it thinks a GLX Renderer has been loaded.

Kind regards,
Karl

I'm a bit puzzled here. Why does Splice uses a library from Nvidia when my graphics card is an Ati?

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Hi,

it's been a while since the last reply. Is there a solution for this problem?


Cheers!

Hello, kio.marv.

As this section in the inxi report shows the GLX components are not loaded or maybe they are not longer on your system?

Code: Select all

Graphics:  Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v] bus-ID: 01:00.0

           GLX Renderer: N/A GLX Version: N/A Direct Rendering: N/A

All right, here is the corresponding section from my Mint 14 system which has got a ATI Radeon Mobility graphics card. (any lower version number is caused by my older Mint version and as such may be ignored.)

Code: Select all

Graphics:  Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series] bus-ID: 01:00.0

           GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR GLX Version: 2.1 Mesa 9.0.3 Direct Rendering: Yes

As you on my machine GLX renderer is loaded and direct rendering is enabled. Cinnamon requires direct rendering. Else it will run in software rendering mode only. I.e. the hard graphics work has to be done by the normal CPU instead of by the GPU.

Here is how I checked for installed GLX and mesa related software components.

Code: Select all

$ dpkg --list *glx* *mesa* | grep "^ii"

ii  libglu1-mesa:amd64                          9.0.0-0ubuntu1                            amd64        Mesa OpenGL utility library (GLU)
ii  libxcb-glx0:amd64                           1.8.1-1ubuntu1.1                          amd64        X C Binding, glx extension

As can be told from the suffix ":amd64" the check has been done ona 64-bit Mint 14 system. Yet, I doubt that 32-bit vs. 64-bit is really the source of your problem.
Something must have damaged / disabled your direct rendering capability.
OK. The installed X.org modules may be of interest, too.

Wow Karl!
Thanks a lot!

I'll check everything later. I don't have my laptop available right now.

I'll post any updates tomorrow morning.

Once again, thanks!

Hi,

any ideas?

Cheers!

[austin.texas]

Sorry, you have been waiting on replies for so long.
The first thing I would do is open Menu > Administration > Driver Manager and see what options you have.

Don't worry. I understand that you people have more things to do than check this forum every second.
I won't have my laptop back until the weekend, so I'll check the driver manager then and post the updates on Monday.

Thanks and cheers!

[kio.marv]

Sorry for the delay!!

I checked in the driver manager and nothing appeared!

Could this be caused because my graphics card is rather old? It's an Ati Mobility Radeon HD 4500.

Cheers!

Hello
I got the same problem with a different config : Asus UX 31 with HD4000 integrated GPU.
It happend after an update in the 2 past weeks. Processing indicates "libEGL warning GLX/DRI2 is not supported" and C++ programs using OpenGL are no longer working. The "funny" thing is that another machine with the same OS and version but a Nvidia Card works perfectly with the same programs ( Processing and C++).
On the Asus which failed, the KinfoCenter driver manager indicates "OpenGL cannot be initialized"
