I am trying to use OpenGL on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I installed OpenGL with the following commands:  sudo apt-get install g++ cmake sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev sudo apt-get install binutils-gold   I wrote a simple example in C++ and compiled it with g++ -lGL -lglut main.cpp -o test and then I tested it using ./test. A window opened but it was black and I didn't show anything.  So, I installed my nvidia driver using the following commands:  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install nvidia-current sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings sudo reboot   And now when I try to run again the program it gives me the 2 errors:  Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". freeglut (./test): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0'   What could be the problem?  Also, here is the output of the lspci | grep VGA command:  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 525M] (rev a1)

I had everything working fine, I use a number of openGL graphics software, example pymol, mgltools, vmd, ballview, rasmol etc.  All of these give the error:  Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".    and fail to initialize.  I have an i7 asus k53s with nvidia gforce   I need these to do my work.  I tried the umblebee fix, and just removing all nvidia drivers, or rolling back.  I do not know why these were working then stopped, but did notice a new nvidia console in the mu which I assume was from enabling the automatic nvidia feeds, etc?  I also played with the xorg, however have no clue what settings are valid.  In addition, the display is 50% of the time not recognized now?  It just gives a geeic 640x480 and I have to login and out 10 times to get it to return to a normal setting.  When I try and set it manual, there is no other setting allowed from the settings menus, and the terminal changes just get re set every time I log out?

This is my first post in this forum. I am new to Linux, just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my Sony Vaio VGN-Z12 with two graphic cards Intel and NVidia Geforce 9300 GS.  After the installation the lightdm works on Intel card but with very law display quality. I installed Nvidia driver from the official website as well as this PPA.  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nvidia-current       Once I installed the driver and run nvidia-xconfig which creates xorg.conf file, the xserver will not start with error "no screen". If I delete the xorg.conf file then I am able to start the xserver normally but with intel display (bad quality)

I have GeForce GTX 560 Ti. I's worked fine in 12.04 with nvidia drivers. Unfortunately, after todays 12.10 update, something broke down.   I've tried nvidia-current, nvidia-current-updates and nvidia-experimantal. Always the same behaviour: Bad resolution in lightdm, after logging nothing except wallpaper. No unity panels, "win" key doesn't work.   After removing nvidia drivers everything work.

Tonight I upgraded to 11.04. Problems. Once I had finished the upgrade, I restarted my computer as it told me too. When I got past the ubuntu 11.04 (purple background orange dots), it simply went to the terminal and asked me to log in. I tried to restart the X server with "sudo service gdm restart" but no display popped up. I happened to have a few NVIDIA drivers in my downloads file also so I gave these a try, but the "install script" failed.   After all this I booted Ubuntu in graphic failsafe mode. I then decided to see what would happen if I removed the proprietary driver. Upon doing this and rebooting my Ubuntu booted into graphical mode "yay!". So without the Nvidia drivers I can finally see something other than terminal, but, I need those NVIDIA drivers for my work. So what can I do? I have tried installing the new NVIDIA linux drivers from the NVIDIA website, and have tried Installing the recommended driver via "additional drivers", but both have resulted in my being stuck in terminal.  If you can help or give me some advice PLEASE DO! I am really in a very bad situation...

For a game I need OpenGL 2.1 or higher, but I want it to run on my good old Win XP box with an ATI Radeon 9200SE graphics card. It currently seems to have OpenGL 1.3.1008 WinXP Release and graphics driver version 6.14.10.6542 installed.  Searching for OpenGL 2.1 to download only resulted in several downloads of version 1.1 for Windows 95.   Do I need a separate OpenGL installation/upgrade or has it to be included into my graphic card driver? Where can I get it?

My laptop computer has a Nvidia video card and runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit. During an upgrade yesterday it seemed as a new Nvidia driver version 304 (if I remember correct) was installed. After upgrade and reboot, I opened the Additional Driver tool and found that the Nvidia driver version 304 was in use. So far so good.  However, the Additional Driver tool also reported that there existed a Nvidia driver version 319 and that this driver version was recommended. I then selected to change to this recommended driver, the driver was downloaded and installed, I rebooted the system and ended up with a black screen and a command shell.  How to change proprietary Nvidia video driver using the command line and revert back to the previous version that worked on my system?  (A second question: How can it be that a video driver that apparently does not work was recommended?)

I have a laptop with ATI Radeon 6770M HD Hybrid graphics card. In Ubuntu 12.04, I installed the fglrx driver through "additional drivers" and it worked. (I can even switch GPUs). But in the new Ubuntu 12.10, after installing, Unity won't load.   Only the mouse and the wallpaper. If I initialize the settings sudo aticonfig --initial then after rebooting it gives a warning saying I'm in low graphics mode! How to fix this?  Earlier I used software source to install the drivers. But when using the terminal, I got this warning :   update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken   Update : Filed a bug report in launchpad :

The NVIDIA graphics driver on this PC is several versions out of date, so I went to upgrade it due to an unrelated issue. I went to the NVIDIA website, downloaded the 64-bit Windows 10 driver for the GT 720 GPU. I ran the installation as you normally would only to be met with the error "NVIDIA Installer Failed", and it told me the "Graphics Driver" failed to install.   Now I only have one usable monitor, the other is not detected, yet it turns on briefly as Windows initially loads the desktop.  What I Have Tried  Clean Installation  This is the first thing I tried, I restarted the computer, waited a while, and then I ran the NVIDIA driver installer, I selected "Custom Install", and then I ticked the "Clean Install" checkbox. This failed in the same way as before. Note, I also tried "Run[ning the updater] As Administrator".  Windows Update  I opened Windows Update to check for updates, since this can often fix failed driver installs. It said there was a NVIDIA driver update available, so began the update process. This failed with the error "0x80070003". I tried again, it failed again.  Manual Driver Install  From device manager, I right clicked on the GPU, and clicked "Update Driver Software", I opted to browse for driver files, with "Check subfolders" checked, and navigated to C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\368.39\ and clicked "OK". This failed with "Code 28".  Manual Driver Install (Automatic)  Same as before, except I let Windows find the driver online automatically, I presume it found the same files I had already downloaded, and downloaded them again. This failed.  I am still stuck with one working monitor, reduced graphical performance, and am unable to install the NVIDIA driver.  This is my work PC, so I don't have a huge amount of time to reinstall Windows, so I'd rather not do that, as I have various customisations in place, and lots of programs installed. It'd take a long time for me to do all of that again.    EDIT: More Info  There are no NVIDIA listings under "Uninstall a Program" in the Control Panel. Yet the "NVIDIA Control Panel" app is still in the start menu, but does not start. I believe that is because there are just three DLL files in C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\coprocmanager, and no other files/directories in coprocmanager's parent directory.  When the driver is installing, my second monitor starts working, and then stops when the installation fails.  When the driver is installing, it briefly appears as "NVIDIA GeForce GT 720" in Device manager, after it fails, it goes back to being labeled, quite simply, "Display".  Tried running...  PsExec.exe -i -s "C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\368.39\Win10_64\International\setup.exe"   ..to no avail.

So I've been pulling my hair out over this for the last couple days now, I can't seem to find any solutions that work. I've fresh installed Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on my system which has no other OS's running on it. Everything's fine aside from the fact that the default Nouveau display driver seems to be causing the UI to freeze sporadically every now and then. No problem right? Just install the proprietary drivers for my GPU and we should be golden? Well here's the thing, no matter how I try to get my GPU's drivers installed I always seem to hit some sort of issue. Here's what I've tried so far:   Switch to the proprietary driver from within the 'Software &amp; Updates' app in Ubuntu. For me the only option available is the 'NVIDIA binary driver - version 375.66 from nvidia-375 (proprietary, tested)'.    After selecting this driver it goes through the install process, asks me to 'configure secure boot' by entering a password, etc. This all seems to work fine initially until I reboot, but then before I see the login screen it seems to open a virtual terminal (usually accessed via alt+shift+F1), but then immediately boots me back to a black screen where it will flash this terminal for a split second every 4 seconds or so. I can access this terminal by using alt+shift+F1, and go on to use it as normal, but it will continually boot me back out to the black screen every few seconds. The only way I can solve this is to keep accessing the terminal each time it boots me out while I purge the nvidia drivers using sudo apt purge nvidia-*. After purging I'm then able to access the login screen and access my Ubuntu again as normal, besides having to reboot to presumably activate the Nouveau drivers again otherwise the resolution is all messed up and only one of my three monitors has anything displayed on it.    Using the steps listed  I download the latest stable/certified driver for my GPU (which as of writing this is version 384.69). However on step 3 where it instructs me to run the driver using sudo sh, I reach an issue where the installer informs me that I need to disable the Nouveau driver in order to continue. I've tried everything from uninstalling Nouveau using 'sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau` to blacklisting Nouveau using the steps listed , by editing the 'nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf'.    Unfortunately no matter what I do to try and disable Nouveau the installer always informs me that the Nouveau driver is enabled and needs to be disabled in order to continue. What's funny is that I managed to install the driver using this method once before, but for the life of me I can't get it to work again.    Finally, I've attempted to install the driver by installing the PPA. I run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa, sudo apt update, and finally going back into the 'Software &amp; Updates' app and select the 384.69 driver. However after going through the install process the same issue as described in my first method (1.) occurs.    I've also tried switching between gdm3 and lightdm with all 3 methods to no avail. I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. If anyone has any possible solutions I'd love to hear them, because right now I'm at the end of my tether.   If you require any further information just let me know and I'll be more than happy to provide it.   System info:   AMD FX-8350  Nvidia GeForce GT710 1gb  16gb RAM  Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS

After upgrading to 12.10 quantal, the packaged version of fglrx no longer works. I discovered that this is because there is a separate 'legacy' fglrx driver for the HD 2k-4k series cards, but it is incompatible with the xorg server on 12.10.  This is the most current version of the driver for HD 2000 through HD 4000 series cards. You can't use the non-legacy fglrx driver, but you can use the open-source radeon driver if you prefer your WM compositing to be laggy and your YouTube videos to play like they would on a Pentium MMX series:    Usually this driver can be installed in the following way, necessary because apt-get install fglrx would pull in the non-legacy driver:  wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/legacy/amd-driver-installer-12.6-legacy-x86.x86_64.zip unzip amd-driver-installer-* sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-*.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/quantal sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb sudo aticonfig --initial -f   If you use a different version of fglrx (for example, a newer 12.9 that doesn't support those cards) then the final command will give you an error no supported hardware detected or something similar. However, everything works at this point and you will get a reasonable xorg.conf:  ... other stuff  Section "Device"         Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"         Driver      "fglrx"         BusID       "PCI:1:5:0" EndSection  ... other stuff   At this point you're supposed to reboot and everything will be working with the fglrx driver. However, upon rebooting, you'll be treated to the following errors in Xorg.0.log when fglrx attempts to load:  (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: noXFree86DRIExtension   Some searching around will show that this is a problem with the legacy ATI drivers not supporting xserver 1.13 or newer. () ATI has released a fixed driver for its most recent (HD 5000 series or later) cards, but not for the 'legacy' cards yet. The non-legacy ATI drivers can't be used with the old cards.  What should an Ubuntu user, using one of these HD 2000-4000 series cards, do?    Wait for an updated 'legacy' ATI driver that properly works with xserver 1.13?   Downgrade back to 12.04 Precise, which uses xserver 1.11? Try to downgrade xserver on 12.10 Quantal to 1.12, which could possibly break Unity and GNOME? Forced upgrade to HD 5000 series or later card? (Not possible with integrated graphics...) Some other 1337 action that fixes this problem painlessly?

I recently updated the drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce video card to version 364.72 (or other version in the 364.xx series), and I'm now experiencing issues such as the following:   Games or other graphically intensive applications crash or hang I get BSODs that are associated with the graphics driver, e.g. nvlddmkm.sys or dxgkrnl.sys Graphical glitches such as missing or misplaced text or icons, display corruption, or a black screen occur The graphics driver crashes regularly, with the message "Display driver [...] has stopped responding and has recovered." The fan on my graphics card spins up to high speed, or the card makes excessive noise   Reinstalling the graphics driver did not help. What's going on?     This question comes up often and the answers are usually the same. This post is meant to provide a definitive, canonical answer for this problem. Feel free to edit the answer to add additional details.

Just recently upgraded to 13.04 and am having trouble running TF2 via Steam. Whenever I start Steam I get a dialog saying:     OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.   Every time I go to launch TF2 I get a dialog saying:     Could not find required OpenGL entry pint 'glGetError'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.   I tried updating my Nvidia drivers, hoping that would solve this issue but alas, it did not. I believe this issue is related to a fix I used to get Skype working with 13.04, specifically . Just a heads up I'm using GNOME Shell 3.8.  Let me know if you need anymore information about my system.

I have never used Ubuntu or any other Linux OS before last Friday. For all I know, I might have installed Ubuntu wrong and be missing a component. I would prefer if you use simplest terminology possible, but I'm OK with doing a bit of googling if need be. I just installed Steam for Ubuntu 16.04 but it won't open when I click on it in the launcher. The icon flashes for a few seconds, stops and then nothing happens. I looked in the system monitor and steam shows up there but ending the process and trying again does nothing. I heard trying to open apps that aren't working through the terminal tells you what the error is so I tried that and I got this:  Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0) libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast   Please help I just want to play CS:GO again.
