Title:
OpenGL Graphics broken on November 4th upgrades
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
First: I don't know if I'm reporting this against the correct package.
The bug report system needs a "unknown package" reporting system, for
people who aren't freaking IT experts yet who are still smart enough
to notice a real live problem.
I have a Radeon card, but things most definitely broke TODAY
immediately after I did a software upgrade.
I use Scilab, which uses OpenGL heavily. After today's upgrade, it
was unable to display graphics, reporting
"Caused by: javax.media.opengl.GLException: Profile GL_DEFAULT is not
available on X11GraphicsDevice[type .x11, connection :0.0"
The symptom in Scilab was that the graphics window opened, but no
graph was drawn upon it. glxinfo is unable to find an RGB visual; I
assume that means that GL is broken -- glxinfo certainly works just
fine on another machine upon which Scilab also works just fine.

As near as I can tell, the xserver-xorg-video-ati is installed. I
have not attempted to change over to fglrx.
