Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings

Upon updating to Lucid the Mesa drivers seem to be clobbered by fglrx drivers on Intel Based video drivers.

Initial (partial) report is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbook-launcher/+bug/570659

GLX related applications will segfault also causing netbook-launcher to loop

-------

Release: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

-------

My fix (from other report)

Since my S10-2 has Intel video card, and I noticed that it's trying to use the NVIDIA drivers I started with this:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9212078&postcount=10

This allowed xorg to at least start using the Intel Drivers for GLX - however, the applications still seg faulted when trying to run which lead me to this:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5409267&postcount=4

It turned out I did have two different libGL libraries:

/usr/lib/mesa
/usr/lib/fglrx

I removed /usr/lib/fglrx and modified /etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL.conf to point to the mesa drivers, however they didn't seem to really contain all the extensions required.

After doing the above I found that fglrx package was still installed so:

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx

This still didn't work, so I reinstalled all the mesa drivers again:

sudo apt-get install libglw1-mesa mesa-utils libglu1-mesa libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri --reinstall

forcing all my drivers back to normal for mesa

And now I can login with regular remix and run glxgears etc.

Similar problem with an HP mini with Intel graphics... After upgrade to Lucid I didn't get fglrx but I did get nvidia-current taking over from mesa/intel.

This lead to the problems detailed by others in bug 570659. I was also getting 'no OpenGL available' messages from various apps when using the 2D desktop. The system was fixed following the procedure in that same bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbook-launcher/+bug/570659/comments/19).

PS The title of this bug could be improved so that the search engines are better able to find it. (I doubt many people would search for 'mesa driver' without prior knowledge of what the problem is.)

Jason Kendall, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases, Lucid Desktop reached EOL on May 9, 2013.

Is this reproducible on a supported release?
