Hello @LinoBigatti, did you recently do a system update that included the nVidia driver? You should be able to do a simple test with glxinfo -B from mesa-progs.

If you did, then it's likely that all OpenGL applications are broken on your system in the same way, and it's because the nVidia proprietary driver requires that the running kernel module, 32 bit userspace, and 64 bit userspace versions all match for it to work properly. The simplest method to resolve the issue is to reboot the system.

I do not have a nvidia gpu, nor did I update system drivers recently. Ill still try a reboot.

A restart fixed it. Sorry for the trouble.
