Public bug reported:
I have two computers, both are now running run Kubuntu 13.04 x86-64
editions (the desktop also has Ubuntu Studio 13.04 x86-64), both use
closed source drivers (laptop has nVidia 9600M GS adapter, desktop has
AMD Radeon HD 6770). Before upgrading, both system's and three *buntu's
ran fine with all OpenGL lib's being pointed to correctly. After
upgrading, the video library paths got cleared leaving me with virtually
all my wine games seg faulting as well as native Linux games and
programs (Skype 4.1, Doom 3, Quake Arena, etc). The problem really
highlights it's self if the software wants to use OpenGL drivers.
I found a temperary fix by adding the video paths to these files:
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf :
/usr/lib32/fglrx (On the desktop)
/usr/lib32/nvidia-313-updates (On the laptop)
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf :
/usr/lib/fglrx #(On the desktop)
/usr/lib/nvidia-313-updates (On the laptop)
I tried updating the alternatives before I edited these files, and I
just got a message back on the terminal saying there were no
alternative's to configure.
This workaround works, but will need to be changed if these paths change
at any time. Now this shouldn't pose a problem for FireGL Catalyst
drivers, but it will pose problems for the nVidia drivers since the
driver series and type (ie 313 series Updates driver) is noted in the
directory.
After these two simple mod's, all my OpenGL programs (both native 64-bit
and 32-bit Linux apps, and Wine programs) worked flawlessly.
This does not effect the open source nVidia and AMD drivers, the issue
only shows up when using the closed nVidia and AMD binary blob's on
*buntu 13.04.
