After looking up the definition of this package on the debian packages site, https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/xserver-xorg-video-all, it says this package depends on the full suite of output drivers for Xorg X server. It does not provide any drivers itself but can be removed if the user requires certain drivers.
If it does not provide any drivers itself, why is it needed? It sounds as if this package acts like a container holding a bunch of output drivers for the Xserver. If so, a distribution developed with this package depends on the drivers from this package. Removing this package will cause the Xserver to fail, just like what I was experiencing. This package holds all, or the required drivers for Xserver to operate on any GPU device that is supports, I am inferring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441843 Title: X server fails to start on post-final Beta Lubuntu Vivid desktop images due to missing xserver-xorg-video-all package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1441843/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
