I'm running Endeavouros 6.6.48-1-lts. After updating the aur yesterday (around 10 pm), I kept having an issue with opening kitty, which, after doing further reading, got me to this command: glxinfo, which outputs:

name of display: :0 Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig 

I can't figure out how to fix this issue (I'm not even really sure what this means, as I've only been using Arch-based distros for about two years). I'm using X with no configuration on my end.

Other potentially useful info:

Output of lshw -c display:

I've already installed all the required packages from the wiki.

  • Which (AUR) packages did you update? Did you update all official packages before with pacman -Syu? Commented Sep 10, 2024 at 12:59

Take a look at the Arch Linux Forums page [SOLVED] glxinfo Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig. Doesn't mention kitty, but if your glxinfo error refers to the underlying problem, it seems that it might be helpful. The page indicates that to resolve the glxinfo error, "just do a full system upgrade with reinstalling mesa and vulkan."

Full disclosure: I use neither Arch nor an Arch-based distro, so I can't really say if this will help or not.
