Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) reached end-of-life on January 27, 2014.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1229734 Title: libgl1-mesa-glx conflicts with nvidia-current (nvidia-304) Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: NOTES: I am NOT using the xorg-edgers PPA. I am NOT using the non-package binary driver from nvidia.com I am NOT using nouveau. When the libgl1-mesa-glx package is installed and the nvidia-current (i.e. nvidia-304) package is also installed, something is running update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/x86_64 -linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf on what seems to be every boot. This is problematic, because in fact the alternative should be set like: update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/nvidia-304/ld.so.conf Having the alternative set to mesa prevents the nvidia kernel and xorg modules from being loaded, which causes X to fall back to the built-in intel GPU and driver, which doesn't work. The result on boot is either: 1. A black screen with a couple of notices e.g.: [ 14.475147] i915 0000:00:02.0: Invalid ROM contents 2. A purple screen with no other content, but the "lightdm has started the greeter and is waiting for your password" noise is heard. Neither of these is a good result; in case 1 I can switch to different VT but I do not get a login prompt on any of them, and in case 2 I _cannot switch VT_. If the alternative is set to the nvidia conf and then the gui is started, for example by: 1. boot 2. enter recovery mode 3. fsck 4. drop to root prompt 5. update-alternatives --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/nvidia-304/ld.so.conf 6. exit 7. resume normal boot. Everything works perfectly. AFAICT this is _NOT_ a bug in the NVidia binary driver, the wrong alternative is simply being used. I am reporting this issue against the libgl1-mesa-glx package, as that package provides the mesa ld.so.conf file in question.
