Bruno Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hi BoilertechBingo !! . . . . I think we are on to something . . . do you see what you just posted ? /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.7667 See that 7667 ?? You have installed and use the nvidia drivers 8762 and so the link /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 should have pointed to something like libGL.so.1.0.8762.Yep . . I know . . this is all pretty complicated . . .but we might maybe able to solve it.Now we need to do some more investigation . . . so please: # ls -al /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.7667ls -al /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8762 Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Guys. I see you are still valiantly plugging away at this. I admire your perseverance. Sorry for your trouble tho.Bruno, FYI - The DKMS 8762 packages install the gl libs in /usr/lib/nvidia. I have a clean install of .93 minime with the 8762 drivers installed and there are no links from /usr/lib at all on my system.The presence of those on boilertech's system makes me wonder what other remnants might be laying around.Boilertech, Can you confirm the presence of the following five files by running ls -al /usr/lib/nvidia ?libGLcore.so.1..0.8762*libGL.la*libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.8762*libGL.so.1.0.8762*libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.1.0.8762*If so, we can see if altering the links in /usr/lib to point to the correct files will make difference.CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Thanks for jumping in COGDIS . . . lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jun 4 06:34 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.8762* This was indeed what I was looking for ! . . . What a mess those 8762 drivers made of it !My suggestion would be the following ( but please Boilertech let COGDIS have a second look at the commands before you execute them ) # rm /usr/lib/libGL.so.1# rm /usr/lib/libGL.so# ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.0.8762 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1# ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.0.8762 /usr/lib/libGL.so# rm /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1# rm /usr/lib/libGLcore.so# ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.1.0.8762 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1# ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.1.0.8762 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so# rm /usr/lib/libGL.la # ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.la /usr/lib/libGL.la COGDIS do we agree on the above ??

boilertech Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) Ok. I am trying to understand what all this means. Kind looks to me like there are some symbolic links that are pointing to the wrong files. So what those commands will do is first, remove the original (wrong) symbolic links. Then we will create new symbolic links to the correct files. Am I close ? Something I would also like to know is how ya'll knew to look for these links? Maybe, you could walk me through the steps we took explaining what we looked for and what we found.

Something I would also like to know is how ya'll knew to look for these links? Maybe, you could walk me through the steps we took explaining what we looked for and what we found.Well . . it is fairly simple Boilertech . . . in post #61 we looked for the link to the OpneGL library in useAnd in post #64 and #66 we traced back the link to its original file: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.7667 and compared the 7667 to the version of the nvidia driver you actually used ( see #59 it says 8762 )COGDIS then asked you in post #67 to show what was in /usr/lib/nvidia . . . files that in a previous life would have been placed ( replacing old files and links ) in /usr/libThe basic concept is now to leave the libGL.so.1.0.8762 and the libGLcore.so.1..0.8762 in /usr/lib/nvidia . . . but replace the links in /usr/lib that point to 7667 with links that point to 8762 . . . . that is all there is to it :D :DNow the disclamer: There is no guarantee it will work . . . it might potentially even makes things worse ( re-install) . . . but there is a small chance that we all can pat eachother on the back and say "job well done"I would like someone to have a second look at the commands I posted. . . to see if I accidentely made any typos . . . but after that you will get the sign "go-for-it" and we will all cross our fingers while you do the "real" work. ;) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi Boilertech . . . I doublechecked the commands . . . and although we probably will be making more links then strictly needed . . . they still look correct to me ( I typed them in the morning and to be sure I checked them in the evening ).So if COGDIS does not show up . . . feel free to start making the changes to your PCLos . . . . . . And don't forget to reboot after the changes because you have will to restart the X server before testing with "glxinfo | grep rendering" Burno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dard Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 WOW congratulations BoilerTech! :thumbsup:Glad you have this sorted out, but I must say that what you had to go through is a bunch of crap just to get 3d working, no wonder new users are afraid to upgrade kernels, or try and enable 3d.Anyways enjoy the 3d goodness.
