Xlib: extension “GLX” missing - with an NVIDIA card and on-board graphics
I have a machine with an NVIDIA GeForce which I don't use for display purposes (i.e. the monitor is not connected to it), and some lackluster on-board graphics chip. (Below you'll find the relevant lshw
listing.)
My X sessions work just fine; but when most of my X apps (which require any sort of fancy GFX or a toolkit) run, they emit the following error message:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
My question is: How can I make my apps notice the non-NVIDIA GLX library and use it (without removing the NVIDIA card and without switching the monitor to its output ports of course)?
I'm using Debian/Linux Stretch 64bit, kernel version 4.2.6, with LXDE.

I arrived here after installing nvidia-current
from the package repository, and got stuck on a login loop. I looked at the log on ~/.xsession-errors
and found the mentioned error:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
I already had uninstalled nvidia-current
and the problem persisted. I also didn't have glx-alternative-nvidia
installed. As a last resort, I simply uninstalled everything from nvidia
on my Ubuntu (including CUDA stuff), and it worked after the restart.

First identify which glx module is in use:
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep glx
[ 3.622] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[ 3.624] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[ 3.705] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
In Debian 8 Jessie my solution was to remove glx-alternative-nvidia
package. So after reboot:
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep glx
[ 3.581] (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[ 3.582] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[ 3.592] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Desktop
I'm actually only getting the X.Org founction module to begin with... see edit.

@VillasV you need to enablecontrib
repository to see it. And probably you don't even have it installed, and thus your cause of missing glx extension error is different.

Install OpenGL in your computer, then as mentioned here, add the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia-VERSION/xorg"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
(Replace nvidia-VERSION
with your directory name)
This worked for me.

I don't have the first directory. In fact, I don't even have an/etc/X11/xorg.conf
for some reason.

I solved it by uninstalling glx-alternative-nvidia

@VillasV you need to enablecontrib
repository to see it. And probably you don't even have it installed, and thus your cause of missing glx extension error is different.

Minor nitpick: why do you saycat file | grep pattern
? Why notgrep pattern file
?

@Timo, just a personal preference. In the shell history I find it easier to see how the pattern evolved if it goes last.

Install OpenGL in your computer, then as mentioned here, add the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia-VERSION/xorg"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
(Replace nvidia-VERSION
with your directory name)
This worked for me.

I don't have the first directory. In fact, I don't even have an/etc/X11/xorg.conf
for some reason.

The solution for me was removing
bumblebee
and installingnvidia-bumblebee
(on Debian Jessie, using the backports gfx packages).– Skeen
