It is probably related to LP: #1639051 . I have already reported the problem to NVIDIA.

The bug report system needs a "unknown package" reporting system, for people who aren't freaking IT experts yet who are still smart enough to notice a real live problem. I have a Radeon card, but things most definitely broke TODAY immediately after I did a software upgrade. I use Scilab, which uses OpenGL heavily. After today's upgrade, it was unable to display graphics, reporting "Caused by: javax.media.opengl.GLException: Profile GL_DEFAULT is not available on X11GraphicsDevice[type .x11, connection :0.0" The symptom in Scilab was that the graphics window opened, but no graph was drawn upon it. glxinfo is unable to find an RGB visual; I assume that means that GL is broken -- glxinfo certainly works just fine on another machine upon which Scilab also works just fine. ubuntu-drivers devices returns == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0 == modalias : pci:v00001002d0000130Fsv00001043sd000085CBbc03sc00i00 vendor : Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
