Hi Ben,

Thanks for including the attached files. Could you also include your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old) from after reproducing the issue?

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` too.

Given this isn't a crash bug and is about improperly installed packaged im
going to claim it as inappropriate!

I believe replying to this message will cause the tickets status to change

/usr/lib/libXext.so is in libxext-dev and should not be in libxext6, this is not a bug.

[Ben De Luca (bdeluca)]

Any other lib provides the .so symlink the 32 bit version of libXext.so provides the symlink.

I am afraid you are incorrect Robert

Hi Ben,

        Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` too.

Im assuming bryces reponse is from a bot. The library post install script is failing to make a symlink but here is my hardware enjoy

No bug here, if you want libXext.so install the -dev package.
