Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-common
Hey guys,
First of all thanks for all the hard work!
I'm running Karmic Kuala, 9.10, 32bit
I received an update yesterday:
Preparing to replace xserver-common 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4 (using
.../xserver-common_2%3a1.6.4-2ubuntu4.1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xserver-common ...
Preparing to replace xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4 (using
.../xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.6.4-2ubuntu4.1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xserver-xorg-core ...
After a reboot, my Nvidia driver stopped working correctly. All desktop
effects was disabled. The nvidia Logo still comes up just before the
login screen, so it's still using the Nvidia driver. I then tried to
reinstall the driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.42-pkg1.run, which complained
about the following:
-> Validating previous installation:
ERROR: File '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so' is not a symbolic
link.
so it seems, error with GLX
>From Xorg.0.log:
(EE) Jan 22 07:14:40 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please
check in your X
(EE) Jan 22 07:14:40 NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been
loaded in your X
(EE) Jan 22 07:14:40 NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA
GLX module. If
(EE) Jan 22 07:14:40 NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please
try
(EE) Jan 22 07:14:40 NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
The 2 packages I think broke it is:
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4 (karmic) updated to xserver-xorg-core
2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.1 (karmic-updates)
xserver-common 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4 (karmic) updated to xserver-common
2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.1 (karmic-updates)
Thanks in advance!
