Lost 3D Capability of Ubuntu 12.04

Asked by Sentrist Starleaf

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 on Vaio VGN-CR353 in a portable HD. Recently I booted it from an HP TouchSmart 610 (I know, foolish) and it asks for proprietary graphic driver. I tried to install the driver, but it failed. I continued to use it just fine.
However, when I return to the Vaio, Plymouth shows only broken black and white bars, and I can't login to sessions with 3D nor play 3D games.

It is nvidia-common.
So, should I remove that package?

Well, removing nvidia-common. Doesn't work. I tried.

Or did you install the ati proprietary driver on the other system?

The installation on the HP was failed. I recall a dialog box telling me that the failure was logged somewhere. So, the answer to that question is "no" (if that's what you were asking)

Is that using wubi by any chance?

No. Its a normal installation into my portable hard disk.

Anyway, problem solved. I uninstalled fglrx-amdcccle-updates and fglrx-updates with apt-get and all is well again. Thank you for your time.
