swrast.so is broken in Ubuntu 14.04

[Nikos Balkanas]

I have Ubuntu 14.04 64x. I need to use libGL for a project. LibGL uses (dlopen) swrast_dri.so. Both of these are maintained by Ubuntu as specified in the package repository. When i try to run glxinfo I get:

name of display: :0
libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI3 capable
libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/fglrx/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/fglrx/dri/swrast_dri.so
libGL: driver does not expose __driDriverGetExtensions_swrast(): /usr/lib/fglrx/dri/swrast_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverGetExtensions_swrast
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/nikos/.drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/nikos/.drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

This is with mesa 10.1.3. Unresolved symbols in swrast seem to go back to mesa 10.1.1. Are there any updates/patches for 14.04? Failing that, where can i dind a version that doesn't have these problems and where can I download its sources?

TIA,
Nikos

I am experiencing this same error. I am running a straightforward Trusty instance on OpenStack. Here is what happens if I run glxgears:

I have just tested Ubuntu version 16.04 LTS xenial.

glxgears now gives a different error message, but somewhat similar. We are still failing to load the swrast driver. Here is the output:

glxgears

I get the error when I run glxinfo in an Xvnc4 session but no error when on the console.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-standard-support on April 25, 2019.
Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
