Public bug reported: Ubuntu 13.04. Unable to find pkgname I decided to switch to a Nvidia graphic driver because I was noticing limitations with certain video games. I searched online and found a tutorial on how to install but when I rebooted after I had finished, the Unity interface no longer worked. I was able to get to the Gnome Fallback interface but now there is no GPU recognized in my system information and when I try to run certain programs an error message pops up saying that the GLX extension cannot be found.
