Xorg 21.1.10-1 crashes after update to (lib32-)mesa 1:23.3.2-1
# Description: My Xorg server segfaults on start/login after today's mesa update # Additional info: Did an update of these two packages today (from `/var/log/pacman.log`): ``` [2023-12-31T19:21:25+0100] [ALPM] upgraded mesa (1:23.3.1-1 -> 1:23.3.2-1) [2023-12-31T19:21:25+0100] [ALPM] upgraded lib32-mesa (1:23.3.1-1 -> 1:23.3.2-1) ``` After the update and a reboot, observed my Xorg constantly crashing on start: [Xorg.0.log.old](/uploads/2acc2cd8ce8c5cbf6008122870bcadb9/Xorg.0.log.old) Downgrading these two packages to their previous versions helped me start Xorg successfully: ``` [2023-12-31T19:56:55+0100] [ALPM] downgraded mesa (1:23.3.2-1 -> 1:23.3.1-1) [2023-12-31T19:56:55+0100] [ALPM] downgraded lib32-mesa (1:23.3.2-1 -> 1:23.3.1-1) ``` I suspect that my GPU might be part of the problem: it is a relatively old Nvidia GTX 1070: ``` alex@syrio ~ % lspci | grep NVIDIA 43:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070] (rev a1) 43:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) ```
