Hi @Erik-Oberschulte,

Fro the error message, it appears that Blender is unable to find the shared library file "swrast_dri.so".

Have you tried reinstalling the graphics driver?
You can also try updating your system packages and ensuring that all dependencies are installed correctly.
If nothing works, you can rolling back to the previous version.

If the issue persists, please provide more information about your Linux distribution, Blender version, and the steps you took to update the graphics driver. This will help us further investigate the problem and provide you with a more specific solution.

I checked the location of swrast_dri.so file and it is available under "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri", which contradicts the information in the error message ...

Apparently this is an issue outside the scope of Blender :\

Maybe the /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so file got corrupted after installation?

Or maybe the driver search paths are not working on your system due to a missing environment variable or something? (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)

You may want to check if these paths are set up correctly and if the necessary files are present in those directories.

If none of these suggestions work, it might be worth reporting the issue upstream. They may be able to provide further assistance or insights into the problem.

Also, it may be useful to check this page for troubleshooting: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/troubleshooting/gpu/index.html
