[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1642662] Re: SRU request: handle EGL alternatives and use different drivers for the LTS stacks
@Jerry Kao This is standard Ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS. For some reason the Nvidia driver doesn't create the egl group for my computer, for example: $ update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf There are 2 choices for the alternative x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf (providing /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_EGL.conf).

Like I said it's a Nvidia Quadro K3100M system which is not quite common.
