I have Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit with proprietary NVidia driver installed. When I try to start any Windows graphical app I get the following error:



libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 151 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 6 (X_GLXIsDirect)
Serial number of failed request: 257
Current serial number in output stream: 256


Having surfed around similar issues on SO communities I realized that this is likely caused by wine using 32-bit graphical libs.



The issue is that the NVidia proprietary 32-bit drivers installer checks for the architecture and fails the installation (although I have multiarch-support package installed).



Is there is a way to work around this issue having proprietary drivers preserved? Or if not what would be the most robust way to set up those libs?



Thanks!

After several attempts to apply the solutions from answers to this question and similar others I came to the one that resolved my particular case.




  1. Download the latest proprietary 64 bit NVidia driver from NVidia site

  2. Start Ubuntu in cmd mode under root: https://askubuntu.com/a/859640/924671

  3. Run installer

  4. At some point installer will ask if you would like to install 32-bit compatibility libraries. Answer [Yes]

  5. When you are asked about if you want to overwrite the existing files (there are probably several places there) confirm the option

  6. Reboot
