Please note that if you install the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver on a Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu system using the official .run package while the nvidia-glx package is installed, or after this package has been uninstalled without the --purge option, the /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx script will modify the NVIDIA TLS library installation when the system starts, which typically results on X server crashes when the server-side NVIDIA GLX extension module is initialized.

This problem can be avoided by uinstalling the nvidia-glx package with the --purge option or by manually deleting the script /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx.
