Well, the intrusive behaviour you describe - removing files belonging to libgl1-mesa-glx - simply sounds unacceptable to me, and I can't help thinking that you ask for trouble by installing the driver directly from the nvidia site.
I am using the nvidia-304-updates package, provided by Ubuntu's "restricted" repository, together with the latest version of skype and skype-bin. It just works, without any manual workarounds of any kind. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002187 Title: Skype won't start (segmentation fault) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/1002187/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
