I am in the same boat.

I am also running archlinux, however my hardware is a bit different.
My setup is actually a VM thats running on a Quad Core Haswell, 16GB Ram and a passing through a AMD Radeon 7950.

Interestingly i can run all the linux UE4 demos and have no problem with Steam games(eg bioshock Infinite, Metro etc)

without LD_PRELOAD i get issue loading libGL, with LD_PRELOAD fails to create OpenGL context.
I also have a laptop running Archlinux with i7 2620m,16GB ram, and HD3000+nvidia-GT520M w/optimus, however this is loading up UE4Editor no problem, albeit slowly.

Did you resolve this? Does anybody else know where to start digging for a solution?

Same Problem here with Manjaro!
With LD_PRELOAD no issue loading libGL. But then it fails to create OpenGL context.

My System:
Notebook | Manjaro Linux | Nvidia GTX 765

My Drivers are:

Does anybody have an idea of how to fix that?

Same problem.
Don’t start on nvidia card, and on intel integrated video card.

Notebook ASUS k55vm:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3610QM 3.3GHz
GPU: GeForce GT 630M
OS: ArchLinux x86_64

try to use nvidia prime instead of primusrun

on my laptop i always use nvidia driver (ubuntu 15.04)

sudo prime-select nvidia

6

hm… nvidia prime seems not to be supported in Linux Manjaro. There’s no package available.
But thanks for the tip!

Also having this error in Arch Linux with an Nvidia GTX 765M.
I even made a thread about this just a moment ago, better to keep this one alive.

i can confirm in my case this is all related to the glibc static TLS loading.

loading libGL with LD_PRELOAD fixes only part of the issue,

if you run UE4Editor with ‘LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose’ in addition to the LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1, you might find its having trouble loading something else.

without LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose, there is no information in the terminal that indicates anything else has failed.

In my case it was also unable to load fglrx_dri.so…

you can probably fix this by recompiling glibc with bigger DTV_SURPLUS or in my case for testing. I simply launched the editor with the following…

LD_PRELOAD=“/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1” ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor

good luck…

You can try cherry picking this: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/dd37bfd78a69f418ff4875e7e72a80c202bd4981

It should fix engine modules having STATIC_TLS flag - there are no code changes, it’s a matter of recompiling a third-party lib.

Thank you so much! This solved the problem for me and my Radeon HD 7750.

what’s about optirun and bumblebee drivers? They are in the oficial nvidia graphics repository!
