MangoHud: OpenGL fail "can't get dlopen()"

mangohud in the Ubuntu repos is still 0.6.5-2 btw

I encountered this same issue, and upgrading from v0.6.5 to v0.6.6-1 solved it

I have never installed mangohud manually as far as I know, if that’s the random tar you are speaking of. Even if that was the case, why would the package manager not overwrite on install of a package? If the distro package manager knew it wasn’t installed by itself, why would it say successful installation once it tried to install it’s own managed version from a repo? I’m finding this situation extremely absurd and wanting to begin auditing every binary I have “installed”.

Of course, if mangohud could have output a version number instead of saying “error this isn’t a program lol” that might have been helpful as well.

EDIT: I’m now straying way offtopic for an already closed issue. Thank you for your assistance.

EDIT2: Upon further investigation, I booted into an older snapshot and sure enough /usr/lib/mangohud existed yet zypper/yast reported it wasn’t installed. Normally if I compile and install something through git I keep that folder in my git folder, but apparently it was just so long ago I forgot, huh.

I had the same issue too with v0.6.5, which is currently shown as the latest release:

@flightlessmango I suggest marking all releases as full releases, or all as “pre-release”, but not a mix of both (unless v0.6.6-1 is really not meant to be used instead of v0.6.5 in a stable environment).
