I'm having the same issue on linux mint:

/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintInstall/mintinstall.py:252: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level

/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintInstall/mintinstall.py:260: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level

ImportError: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: xcb_glx_set_client_info_2arb

this happend with mintinstall and all the others mint app.

Same problem here with VirtualBox and Ubuntu 11.10

Same type of error when running Indicator-SysMonitor:

wim@UbuntuAsusWim:~$ indicator-sysmonitor

I'm using this one as well.

I will try a ppa purge maybe today, I guess there is a big problem with some libraries inside xorg ppa

@DINAMIK (silpablo): I am using this PPA that provides updated X and MESA gfx drivers, but not an updated Xorg:
 https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/

after a dist-upgrade today. problem resolved

@gururise

thanks for the ppa, is very usefull

Solved for me too. I was having the same (it seems) problem when I tried to run Quodlibet after the most recent upgrade. I also have the xorg-edgers ppa and am running Oneiric. Running Quodlibet from the command line produced the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/quodlibet", line 289, in <module>
    main()

ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: xcb_glx_set_client_info_2arb

Adding oibaf's ppa that gururise mentioned and upgrading solved the problem for me.

Hi all,

after a dist-upgrade today. problem resolved for me too.

Thank you

Giorgio

Hello All,

I didn't need the extra ppa (https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/), only a dist-upgrade solved it.

Thank you all, kind regards,
