macOS Big Sur 11.4, MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

XQuartz (2.8.1) starts but it quits within a few seconds. There are no warnings or reports but it quits sientlty.

I re-installed XQuartz, reboot, and deleted some files such as .zsh_history and .Xauthority, but I'm still having the same problem.

Any suggestions?

[updated]

The error seems to be /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Resources//GLRendererFloat.bundle/GLRendererFloat: #2: No such file or directory.

  • Check the system log for messages, and also check for crash reports in the Console app.

  • Thanks, I updated the post and still haven't figured out what the problem is.

  • We need something from the MacOS logs, not X11's own 'internal' log.

  • Some have reported that this might be an issue with the Big Sur installation and that reinstalling it fixed the issue.

    Clean installing solved eventually the issue! After re-installing, another error said .xinitrc had a problem and I deleted it. I'm not sure if the original error was because of MacOS or .xinitrc.
