Created attachment 132582 [details] OS details I have a problem with starting programs that require at least OpenGL 2.1 support. You've been disabled OpenGL 2.1 support in this commit: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=a1891da7c865c80d95c450abfc0d2bc49db5f678 with this reasons https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2017-January/142691.html So after graphic drivers update from ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers repo two months ago I've got an issue which very similar to this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100189 . Now this issue is solved, but the current driver package doesn't support OpenGL 2.1 at all. Krita, for example, is one of the best graphics applications that can replace Photoshop for linux. But without OpenGL 2.1 support it has unpleasant incurable bugs. There are some games like Don't Starve for linux that can't start at all without OpenGL 2.1 support. The absence of this library it self can not affect the operation of programs in any way by causing a critical failure. Therefore, I can not provide a bugreport with a certain segfault for you. But some programs can not work properly without it at all. So I just need to reenable Opengl 2.1 support as it was before. Is there a way to do this? This driver has a some bugs with OpenGL 2.1 support and it's no longer supported by it's developers, but it's better to use it than not being able to run some programs at all.
