Bug Description
NOTES:
I am NOT using the xorg-edgers PPA.
I am NOT using the non-package binary driver from nvidia.com
I am NOT using nouveau.
When the libgl1-mesa-glx package is installed and the nvidia-current (i.e. nvidia-304) package is also installed, something is running
update-alternatives --set x86_64-
on what seems to be every boot. This is problematic, because in fact the alternative should be set like:
update-alternatives --set x86_64-
Having the alternative set to mesa prevents the nvidia kernel and xorg modules from being loaded, which causes X to fall back to the built-in intel GPU and driver, which doesn't work.
The result on boot is either:
1. A black screen with a couple of notices e.g.:
[ 14.475147] i915 0000:00:02.0: Invalid ROM contents
2. A purple screen with no other content, but the "lightdm has started the greeter and is waiting for your password" noise is heard.
Neither of these is a good result; in case 1 I can switch to different VT but I do not get a login prompt on any of them, and in case 2 I _cannot switch VT_.
If the alternative is set to the nvidia conf and then the gui is started, for example by:
1. boot
2. enter recovery mode
3. fsck
4. drop to root prompt
5. update-alternatives --set x86_64-
6. exit
7. resume normal boot.
Everything works perfectly. AFAICT this is _NOT_ a bug in the NVidia binary driver, the wrong alternative is simply being used.
I am reporting this issue against the libgl1-mesa-glx package, as that package provides the mesa ld.so.conf file in question.
