[Bug 106217] Re: hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions
It so happens that this file existed (it was still there!) even though I had already removed the package nvidia-glx-new that had been installed at first. I deleted this file and now the driver version 9631 works and I believe that installing the deb package for nvidia-glx would work too. Thanks Capineiro.

Ludi: Your comment doesn't make sense in the context of this bug. This issue is only for people switching from nvidia-glx-new/nvidia-glx-legacy to just nvidia-glx. If you have only ever used nvidia-glx then this is definitely not the bug for you. Please can you search launchpad for a bug that better fits your problem and if none is found please file a new bug report. -- hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 106217] Re: hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions
I'm getting the same error message that was described above. After a reboot, my system keeps refusing to load X again. Thanks to the dubious package description, I installed the nvidia-glx- legacy. This driver won't work for my card and the nvidia-glx (which is the right one) now won't(?) load. I removed the nvidia-glx-legacy package but the message keeps showing up every time that I use the 'nvidia' driver in the device section of xorg.conf. I'm using the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel.

I can confirm this problem too. I had to manually remove all nvidia modules and reinstall (using dpkg, since apt-get nvidia-glx require an old module/kernel version) the nvidia-glx restricted-modules again.

[Bug 106217] Re: hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions
I can also confirm this bug. Downgrading from nvidia-glx-new to nvidia-glx does not remove the file /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed. This causes the wrong nvidia kernel module to be loaded (it loads the nvidia-glx-new module, instead of the nvidia-glx one), and causes an API mismatch. The fix is indeed to remove the /lib/linux-restricted- modules/.nvidia_new_installed file, this ought to be done when removing the nvidia-glx-new package. -- hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had a similar problem but I haven't been able to solve it. No matter what driver I have installed (nvidia-glx/-legacy) I can't start X. When I do dmesg I get a message saying that v1.0-9755 doesn't support my card and that legacy 1.0-96xx only do. But I still get the same no matter what, and I have removed nvidia-glx-new, so there must something else staying behind. -- hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

elventear: There's not enough information in your comment to make a diagnosis of the problem. Could you create a new bug report and upload /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg.0.log and also add the output of ls -al /lib/linux-restricted-modules Can you also indicate whether you have ever tried to manually install the nvidia binary drivers or used a 3rd party non Ubuntu provided tool to do so and then post a link to your new bug report in this bug. -- hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 106217] Re: hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions
I can confirm that problem! I've installed Feisty Fawn beta and updated to the latest packages as of 15-APR-07. My PC has an integrated GeForce4 MX and it wouldn't work with nvidia-glx-new nor nvidia-glx. It did work with nvidia-glx-legacy but I believe this old version does not suport X composite and also has problems with suspend/hibernate (at least here). So I decided to remove the ubuntu packages and install the binary package from Nvidia's web site. I dowloaded version ...9631 , which is not the newest one, but is the latest to suport my chipset. And after instaling it successfully it didn't work. I've found out that modprobe nvidia causes /sbin/lrm-video to run and check whether there is a file /lib/linux-restricted- modules/.nvidia_new_installed. It so happens that this file existed (it was still there!) even though I had already removed the package nvidia- glx-new that had been installed at first. I deleted this file and now the driver version 9631 works and I believe that installing the deb package for nvidia-glx would work too.
