Kitty suddenly not launching

[ygypt]

I know this could very well be a graphics driver bug or what-have-you, so im not expecting a solid answer, but at the very least do any of you know where i should look to ask about this?

I run bspwm and picom and im running glx backend. i have a gtx 1050 2gb. broke after my latest pacman update

ive been running this setup for like 2 or 3 months without issue and havent touched my configs at all in quite some time

[kairo@ychor ~]$ kitty
[062 02:49:52.888601] [glfw error 65543]: GLX: Failed to create context: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[062 02:49:52.888625] Failed to create GLFW temp window! This usually happens because of old/broken OpenGL drivers. kitty requires working OpenGL 3.3 drivers.

This is almost certainly a driver issue. Check your pacman logs for updated mesa/nvidia/nouveau/whatever packages and rollback and you should be fine.

Definitely a driver issue, or too old specs. I had the same problem with kitty and alacritty.

The Error

$ kitty

found these solution for alacritty and worked fine for kitty

$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 kitty

Check them out, they'll explain better than I can here, original here

Same on a mac M3 chip LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 does not fix it though.
