Package: libgl1-nvidia-alternatives Version: 256.53-1 Severity: normal Hello,
two days ago I switched to the new nvidia driver 256.53 , hoping that problems might vanish. First upgrade yesterday went fine. DRI stayed with me. But today the problems came back. So I could try your proposal. It was a good proposal and you were right: before updating: i...@ik:~$ ls -la /usr/lib/libGL.* /etc/alternatives/libGL.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 8.

As far as I understand, my system seems to be messed up. I could not find a package to where libGL.so.1.3 belongs . Google says , it could be an old matrox driver. I never had a matrox card. Until now I have no idea how to remove (just delete it?) it and why the script gets linked to it. And on the other hand the question remains: How can updating nearly any package break the rules of libgl1-nvidia-alternatives? Even if there wasn't a libGL.so.1.3, why should updating switch anything? (But maybe I am just too dumb to understand... ) BtW. the output of locate libGL.so: i...@ik:~$ locate libGL.so. /etc/alternatives/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.3 /usr/lib/nvidia/diversions/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/nvidia/diversions/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.256.53 /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/libGL.so.1 Thank you for your patience Ingo -- Package-specific info: uname -a: Linux ik 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 6 19:12:14 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux /proc/version: Linux version 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 (Debian 2.6.35-1~experimental.3) ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.5 20100728 (prerelease) (Debian 4.4.4-8) ) #1 SMP Mon Sep 6 19:12:14 UTC 2010 /proc/driver/nvidia/version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 256.53 Fri Aug 27 20:27:48 PDT 2010 GCC version: gcc version 4.4.5 20100728 (prerelease) (Debian 4.4.4-8) lspci 'VGA compatible controller [0300]': 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] [10de:00f1] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GV-N66T128VP [1458:3150] Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 248 (1250ns min, 250ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16 Region 0: Memory at fb000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Region 1: Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Region 2: Memory at fa000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] [virtual] Expansion ROM at f9f00000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: nvidia -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: lang=de...@euro, lc_ctype=de...@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nvidia-glx depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.4 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.11.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgl1-nvidia-glx [libgl1-nvi 256.53-1 NVIDIA binary OpenGL libraries ii libglx-nvidia-alternatives 256.53-1 simplifies replacing Xorg module l ii nvidia-kernel-dkms [nvidia-ke 256.53-1 NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS s Versions of packages nvidia-kernel-dkms depends on: ii dkms 2.1.1.2-5 Dynamic Kernel Module Support Fram ii nvidia-kernel-common 20100522+2 NVIDIA binary kernel module suppor Versions of packages nvidia-kernel-source depends on: ii debhelper 8.0.0 helper programs for debian/rules ii make 3.81-8 An utility for Directing compilati ii quilt 0.48-7 Tool to work with series of patche Versions of packages libgl1-nvidia-alternatives is related to: ii binutils 2.20.1-12 The GNU assembler, linker and bina pn binutils-gold <none> (no description available) ii linux-headers-2. 2.6.32-23 Header files for Linux 2.6.32-5-am ii linux-headers-2. 2.6.34-1~experimental.2 Header files for Linux 2.6.34-1-am ii linux-headers-2. 2.6.35-1~experimental.3 Header files for Linux 2.6.35-trun ii nvidia-glx [nvid 256.53-1 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver ii nvidia-kernel-co 20100522+2 NVIDIA binary kernel module suppor ii nvidia-kernel-dk 256.53-1 NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS s ii nvidia-kernel-so 256.53-1 NVIDIA binary kernel module source ii xserver-xorg 1:7.5+7 the X.Org X server ii xserver-xorg-cor 2:1.7.7-6 Xorg X server - core server -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
