Dear all,
After needing to reboot my machine, I got a strange error when I try
to enable desktop effects, or even glxgears or glxinfo:
glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
glxinfo: name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
and compositing is not working on KDE, saying that it cannot enable
the OpenGL renderer. All the nvidia packages are in the 275.09.04
version:
dpkg -l | grep nvidia
ii libgl1-nvidia-alternatives 275.09.04-1
simplifies replacing MESA libGL with GPU vendor libraries
ii libgl1-nvidia-alternatives-ia32 275.09.04-1
simplifies replacing MESA libGL with GPU vendor libraries
(32-bit)
ii libgl1-nvidia-glx 275.09.04-1
NVIDIA binary OpenGL libraries
ii libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32 275.09.04-1
NVIDIA binary OpenGL 32-bit libraries
ii libglx-nvidia-alternatives 275.09.04-1
simplifies replacing Xorg module libglx.so with GPU vendor
library
ii nvidia-glx 275.09.04-1
NVIDIA binary Xorg driver
ii nvidia-installer-cleanup 20110515+1
Cleanup after driver installation with the nvidia-installer
ii nvidia-kernel-common 20110515+1
NVIDIA binary kernel module support files
ii nvidia-kernel-dkms 275.09.04-1
NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS source
ii nvidia-settings 270.41.06-1
Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
ii nvidia-support 20110515+1
NVIDIA binary graphics driver support files
ii nvidia-xconfig 270.41.06-1
X configuration tool for non-free NVIDIA drivers
I have a suspicion that the mesa packages are the ones giving trouble:
dpkg -l | grep mesa
ii libgl1-mesa-dri 7.10.2-4
free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI modules
ii libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.2-4
free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime
ii libglu1-mesa 7.10.2-4
The OpenGL utility library (GLU)
ii mesa-utils 8.0.1-2
Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities
But if I try to remove any one of them, apt-get tries to desinstall
all my KDE. How can I help? What can be done?
Thanks.
