I guess I wasn't clear enough in my last message. I already solved my problem - sorry about that.
The problem was three fold: 1. The hidden .nvidia* file: causing the nvidia driver not to load because it thought it had the wrong version. Removing the file fixed the problem. 2. XGL: was conflicting with AIGLX and direct rendering. Removing all XGL packages fix the problem. 3. Xorg.conf: was improperly configured (most likely configured for XGL), and was probably causing GL problems. What I was trying to say is that many people will probably have the same or similar problems upgrading from Fiesty to Gusty. If they had installed XGL (like I did to try out Beryl), then it will conflict with Gusty's AIGLX and there will be no 3D acceleration. Also if they have a Nvidia card, then the hidden .nvidia file could cause problems with loading the correct driver. The update-manager or the nvidia-glx* packages or some other script should fix the hidden .nvidia problem. Also a message should be shown if the user had installed XGL; informing them that it will conflict with AIGLX and is no longer necessary and should be removed. Other than that you can close this bug. It's more turned into a suggestion of how to stop this problem from happening to others that upgrade. -- [Gusty] Broken Nvidia driver after upgrade to Gusty (7.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138933 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
