@Michele - Thanks, that did it for me. This problem has been driving me nuts since I upgraded to 18.04.
I went one step further though. I noticed that file belonged to the nux- tools package. I went ahead and ran "sudo apt purge nux-tools". I didn't see a need to keep that package around anymore. No other packages were depending on that package either. lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 5927 (rev 06) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to nux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767468 Title: Upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04, then uninstalling unity disables hardware acceleration Status in nux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 on a very plain Intel Skylake graphics, hardware acceleration is gone.
