Issues with mesa driver after update

Question

Issue

Some graphical applications will return this error in the terminal and refuse to run. This issue appeared after a recent update and upgrade

I'm assuming that this is happening because I have no renderer for OpenGL

Things I've tried

• Installing the latest stable version of Mesa driver
• Using amd-install command to install the amd gpu stack
• Uninstalling and reinstalling x11, xorg, and xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
• Installing freeglut3-dev (OpenGL)

I've since removed the removed the ppa for the latest version of the mesa driver because that did not fix the issue. I also removed amdgpu-install because installing the amd gpu stack did not fix the issue either.

When I installed the amd gpu stack some graphical applications like glxinfo (but not my window manager dwm) would return a segfault

You still have a mix of files from different Mesa versions as "DRI driver not from this Mesa build" is telling you. Let's remove the conflicting packages.

Normally, you would use ppa-purge as the PPA itself recommends:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

If that doesn't work, we can target the package containing dpkg -S radeonsi specifically:

sudo dpkg --force-all -P libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 mesa-opencl-icd:amd64
sudo apt install -f

Removing the PPA does not remove the installed packages, so you have to remove the packages separately. At least parts of amdgpu-install are related to the kernel driver, while the problem here is the userspace driver.

Oibaf replied to my email. For bug reports, please use the bug tracker links and not emails.

About ppa-purge not working: make sure to have the ppa enabled before purging (otherwise ppa-purge doesn't know which are the packages to revert).
