I can confirm this issue, was about to post it and I have had this error for a month or so on two different machines Hardware: T440p with dedicated GPU OS: Linux 4.13.7-1-ARCH Window Manager: i3-wm 4.14.1-1 and Hardware: T450s with Intel GPU OS: some lts kernel, has been a while since I checked Window Manager: i3-wm 4.14.1-1

I did test it on the laptop of a friend though where it worked, waiting for him to give me the specs

[jD91mZM2]

Can also confirm.
Kernel: LTS Kernel (4.9) Window Manager: KWin

Seems to be an issue with Arch Linux in general?

[fmagin]

Friend confirmed his specs he is also running Arch with a NVidia GPU and the nouveau drivers (like me) but it works for him. This issue has also been discussed in #1202 the .srgb(false) does not work for me though

[bvssvni]

Does an older version of OpenGL work on your machine?

[carymrobbins]

Note that I had this same issue with Amethyst; however, the problem has been fixed in master. Maybe there could be some coordination to figure out what causes this issue.

[fmagin]

Downgrading mesa to 17.1.X fixed it for me, as was suggested somewhere but I cant find that again :/ There was also some thread about this being a bug in mesa, will try to find it again

[est31]

This is a clear dupe of #1202.

[Cxarli]

This seems to have been fixed with the latest mesa 18.*. See https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/piston/issues/1202 for more information.
