Public bug reported:
NOTES:
I am NOT using the xorg-edgers PPA.
I am NOT using the non-package binary driver from nvidia.com
I am NOT using nouveau.
When the libgl1-mesa-glx package is installed and the nvidia-current
(i.e. nvidia-304) package is also installed, something is running
update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/x86_64
-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf
on what seems to be every boot. This is problematic, because in fact the
alternative should be set like:
update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf
/usr/lib/nvidia-304/ld.so.conf
Having the alternative set to mesa prevents the nvidia kernel and xorg
modules from being loaded, which causes X to fall back to the built-in
intel GPU and driver, which doesn't work.
The result on boot is either:
1. A black screen with a couple of notices e.g.:
[ 14.475147] i915 0000:00:02.0: Invalid ROM contents
2. A purple screen with no other content, but the "lightdm has started
the greeter and is waiting for your password" noise is heard.
Neither of these is a good result; in case 1 I can switch to different
VT but I do not get a login prompt on any of them, and in case 2 I
_cannot switch VT_.
If the alternative is set to the nvidia conf and then the gui is
started, for example by:
1. boot
2. enter recovery mode
3. fsck
4. drop to root prompt
5. update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf
/usr/lib/nvidia-304/ld.so.conf
6. exit
7. resume normal boot.
Everything works perfectly. AFAICT this is _NOT_ a bug in the NVidia
binary driver, the wrong alternative is simply being used.
I am reporting this issue against the libgl1-mesa-glx package, as that
package provides the mesa ld.so.conf file in question.
