I am currently experiencing a login loop after upgrading from manual install of nVidia 361 to package install of 367. I have tried downgrading to 364 and back to 361 (package install this time) to no avail, the errors appear to be the same.
My .xsession-errors contains the following:
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 32
Current serial number in output stream: 33
openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0
I have additional logs to provide, however I don’t see how I can attach them to this thread. I’ll paste what I can here:
I found this in my Xorg log file
