Application problems associated with missing libGLcore.so.1 file
Dear list I have come across a problem that I seem to be going in circles to try to resolve. I'd appreciate any help you might be able to offer. I am unable to launch various apps (e.g. chromium, amarok, ...) apparently because I lack a given library file - libGLcore.so.1 I couldn't find anything under an apt-cache search, so searched it on the Debian website and found a number of nvidia-related packages that contain this library file. All good. I then attempt the following: ~$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: libgl1-nvidia-glx 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed.

Well, before going further on this, I would first ask myself if I really need that library for running amarok or chronium. For me it looks like the error can come from another place >:-?

As is my card. I have tended to go for the proprietary drivers from nVidia directly, & I wonder if somewhere along the line I pulled down the Debian libraries as part of an update? This is certainly consistent with what I have found out from further research. Anyway, the fix was to rerun the nvidia installer script after purging anything to do with nVidia via #aptitude purge ~i~nnvidia This seems to have done the job & the error was mine: I mixed installation methods somehow without realising it. Mea culpa :-( Thanks for your assistance though. Cheers AG -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
