Hello everyone. updated as normal did not even think about it just system restarted on request as normal. until i went to play on our modded minecraft server. minecraft forge reports the following:
Failed to initialize graphics window with current settings.
Failure details:
Failed to find a valid GLFW profile.
We tried 4.6, 4.5, 4.4, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.3, 3.2 but none of them worked.

Trying 3.2: GLFW error: [0x10009]GLX: Failed to find a suitable GLXFBConfig
I’ve tried to do my own research to fix the issue as you know how fun that can be but I feel like I’m missing something fundamental. if i run glxinfo | grep OpenGL i get the following output:
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 550.54.14
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 550.54.14
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL profile mask: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 NVIDIA 550.54.14
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20
so OpenGL 4.6 is supported but it can not use it for some reason. though my research i also found mhwd -l is useful and here is that output.
0000:01:00.0 (0300:10de:1b80) Display controller nVidia Corporation:
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
video-nvidia 2023.03.23 false PCI
video-nvidia-470xx 2023.03.23 false PCI
video-nvidia-390xx 2023.03.23 false PCI
video-linux 2018.05.04 true PCI
video-modesetting 2020.01.13 true PCI
video-vesa 2017.03.12 true PCI
I don’t know much about what I’m looking at here other than the free/not free column. Is it normal to have both 470xx and 390xx at the same time ?
along the same vein as mhwd inxi -gazy is useful. Looking through this I find it interesting that my webcam is listed in the same list as my monitors. Is this a video in/out list more or less?
