I hit this bug when upgrading to Nvidia driver version 340.32. I noticed this error in Xorg.0.log:
[2307136.707] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X [2307136.707] (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X [2307136.707] (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If [2307136.707] (EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try [2307136.707] (EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. So, I checked to see *which* glx module *was* being loaded: [2307131.587] (II) LoadModule: "glx" [2307131.706] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so [2307133.490] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [2307133.490] compiled for 1.15.1, module version = 1.0.0 [2307133.490] ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 8.0 That didn't look right, so I went to the directory in the message and found two modules there: libglx.so libglx.so.340.32 So, it appears that, when I installed the Nvidia driver, the installer did not rename the glx drivers, so I did: cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ mv libglx.so libglx.so.xorg cp libglx.so.340.32 libglx.so after rebooting, all is well! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166765 Title: unity showing only blank desktop, no dash nor decorations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1166765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
