I can also confirm this bug. Downgrading from nvidia-glx-new to nvidia-glx does not remove the file /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed. This causes the wrong nvidia kernel module to be loaded (it loads the nvidia-glx-new module, instead of the nvidia-glx one), and causes an API mismatch.
The fix is indeed to remove the /lib/linux-restricted- modules/.nvidia_new_installed file, this ought to be done when removing the nvidia-glx-new package. -- hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
