*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 106217 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106217 Just want to add to this: I triggered this bug by installing nvidia-glx-new, which didn't work for a specific card (too old), and then removing that and installing nvidia- glx. It looks like the hidden file /lib/linux-restricted- modules/.nvidia* caused the old 7XXX series kernel driver to be used instead of the 9XXX series after nvidia-glx-new was removed. The fix is to just make the removal scripts for nvidia-glx-new make sure to remove the hidden file @ /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia* -- [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

[Bug 138933] Re: [Gusty] Broken Nvidia driver after upgrade to Gusty (7.10)
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
[Bug 138933] Re: [Gusty] Broken Nvidia driver after upgrade to Gusty (7.10)
jdm64: Since bugs can only be about one single issue which one do you want this bug to be about? The hidden dotfile issue is Bug #106217. When you are using XGL direct rendering will not be available (which pretty much makes sense given the way that XGL works). Just because you direct rendering is off doesn't mean your GL won't be accelerated though (it often means this but the XGL case is different). It is not clear exactly what GL problems you were having under XGL from your comment so you will have elaborate a bit more if you feel the bug is about that issue. -- [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

[Bug 138933] Re: [Gusty] Broken Nvidia driver after upgrade to Gusty (7.10)
It seems the problem was two fold: There was a hidden in /lib/linux-restricted-modules/ that confused Xorg byt thinking it had the wrong driver version. I ran: sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia* and it fixed that problem. The second problem was that GLX and Direct Rendering wouldn't load. That was caused by the XGL package still being installed. I removed all XGL packages and the problem was solved. I suggest that the update script should check for both of these problems, as it will probably be very common for people upgrading from Feisty to Gusty! -- [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
