Hello @airatin, can you test if any 32 bit opengl application works? What video card vendor / driver version are you using?
If you've recently done a system update that bumped the kernel or video driver version, you may need to reboot.
Hello @kisak-valve, I have Nvidia 384.59 for GeForce GTX 765M. Linux kernel is 4.4.0-93. These have stayed the same before and after I've had this issue, but even still I've tried rebooting several times to no avail.
What other 32 bit opengl application can I use? I'm not sure which applications I have that are 32bit opengl.
I would use glxinfo from mesa-utils:i386 as a basic testcase.
According to the terminal, if I installed mesa-utils:i386 it would remove cinnamon which I don't want. Having said that, I typed in glxinfo into the terminal and this was the result:
name of display: :0
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 155 (NV-GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 4 ()
Resource id in failed request: 0x4e00003
Serial number of failed request: 37
Current serial number in output str
Right, it's definitely not okay for a simple test to mess with the general setup of your system. You could grab the .deb for the package, unpack it with a general archive utility, and run it from your home folder, but you've already gotten a straight answer that the nvidia driver is currently broken and needs to be fixed.
Well that's strange, but I updated my Nvidia driver and it launches perfectly now. Thanks for the help!
