You have been subscribed to a public bug: When trying to install the new "xorg 7.5 / xserver 1.7" lucid is going to uninstall nvidia-glx. This in turn means no Nvidia proprietary drivers.
This is due to the fact that the package xserver-xorg-core_1.7.2-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb conflicts with the virtual package "xserver-xorg-video-5" and the package nvidia-glx-185_185.18.36-0ubuntu9_amd64.deb provides the very same package "xserver-xorg-video-5". It should provide "xserver-xorg-video-6", just like the new nv driver does: xserver-xorg-video-nv_2.1.15-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb This is a big problem as lucid alfa1 is about to be released. Nvidia graphic cards are quite common among linux users. Lucid ubuntu 10.04 pre-alfa1_amd64, fully updated xserver-xorg 2:1.72-2ubuntu2 nvidia-glx 185.18.36-0ubuntu9 ** Affects: nvidia-drivers-ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Nvidia-glx is removed by a new xorg 7.5 [lucid] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494166 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
