1) please type the following command:
sudo updatedb

Then attach the output of the following command:
locate libGL.so

2) Did you install the nvidia driver from Nvidia's website (in your current installation of Ubuntu)?

[Shyam (shyam.s)]

output for 'locate libGL.so'

/usr/lib/libGL.so
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libGL.so.180.27
/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa
/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa

I tried to install from the official repository ....

I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
