It looks like you installed nvidia drivers either directly from nvidia or some other outside source packaged wrongly which interferes with the mesa install. If the former is the case, remove them by running
sudo sh NVIDIA-whateveryourfileiscalled.run --uninstall replacing "whateveryourfileiscalled" with the relevant line from the package you installed with. You can also run sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall if you no longer have the package around. Then you can update everything normally and then install the nvidia binary drivers ubuntu provides. If you need more recent drivers than currently in karmic there are PPAs with .deb packages you can use for it so it does not break the package management system in the manner you describe such as https://edge.launchpad.net/~thefirstm/+archive/karmic-testing -- package libgl1-mesa-glx 7.4-0ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: Kann ?./usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2? nicht erzeugen: No such file or directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386452 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
