messy uninstallation

joegiampaoli · 06-20-12, 04:48 PM

Ok, for the very first time I am having this issue:

Installed NVIDIA 295.59 drivers on self compiled Kernel. Decided to remove them and go back to nouveau or nv instead because this is a RT kernel for pro audio, so official Nvidia drivers don't play nice always with RT kernels which was in this case.

After removing NVIDIA drivers suddenly I am having some issues with specific programs, I get the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-glcore.so.295.59: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Tried installing and uninstalling and nothing, same problem.

I already did:

Code:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core

AND

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

But still having issues.

Debian Squeeze with 3.4.2 RT 11 kernel.

Hope you can help me with this one.

Thanks!

What does "ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo" say it's using for libGL.so.1?

Here's the full output:

Code:

I also did a "locate nvidia" and can see quite some stuff still "hanging around" in /usr/bin and /usr/lib:

Nevermind, I had same issues with other audio applications that I needed to run immediately to continue with my work, so I had to purge the whole system and restore from a backup I had created a few weeks ago, so all is fine at the moment.

Wish I could wait to help you guys debug this issue but just couldn't.

Still thanks!

Cheers

Joe
