Window manager error : window borders and panels have disapeared

Hi all,

I have xfce4 installed on an old laptop with Debian. I've recently updated everything and since that moment, the window manager seams to be completely broken.

I've tried starting the window manager on a terminal to see if there are any errors.

xfwm4&
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast: /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

(xfwm4:5984): xfwm4-WARNING **: 14:42:52.101: Could not create GLX context.

(xfwm4:5984): Gdk-ERROR **: 14:42:52.101: The program 'xfwm4' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 2221 error_code 2 request_code 151 (GLX) minor_code 24)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

By the way, I found swrast_dri.so in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri it seems that it has been corrupt? No symbols found in the shared library.

Any ideas on what could have happened during the update?

Thanks in advance

The Loko

What Debian version are you using? (stable, testing...)

swrast_dri.so is provided by "libgl1-mesa-dri" package, probably it wasn't installed correctly.
Try installing that package again.
