Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx package creates soft-links in /usr/lib which point to the
wrong (nvidia-glx-new) versions of those libraries.
The link /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.100.14.19
should be /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.9639
The link /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.100.14.19
should be /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.9639
This causes the following error logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000043gl
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)
As a temporary workaround, this script will 'repair' the links if you're
installed the nvidia-glx package and now have no GLX support (as reported by
glxinfo)
#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/lib/
rm libGLcore.so.1 libGL.so.1
ln -s libGLcore.so.1.0.9639 libGLcore.so.1
ln -s libGL.so.1.0.9639 libGL.so.1
