Then I tried a simple install instead: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel ![]() It seems that xserver-xorg-core got installed, BUT I get an error for xserver-xorg-video-intel saying "it cannot be downloaded". Sudo apt-get install -reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-core I then tried re-installing a couple of xserver drivers inspired by this thread: 16.04 - How To Purge Intel Default Drivers & Reinstall Intel Graphic Drivers, more specifically: sudo apt-get update Looking into apt.log and main.log after the failed installation, I saw that xserver-xorg-video-* was causing the problems. I following the official guide here to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04:Īt first, the upgrade would not happen because I "held broken packages". I think I found a way out of this mess by upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04!!īefore attempting to upgrade, I removed weird non-proprietary PPA's, like oibaf, and rebooted (should probably have purged them instead of just removing). Since I need OpenGL 3.2, I added the ubuntu-x-swap ppa because I thought I was missing some updates, following Īlso added the oibaf repository too see if that would upgrade OpenGL, based on this 6 year old thread: How to update OpenGL Driver on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (At some I also edited /etc/X11/nf as described at the bottom of this page: ) That seemed to make GLX work better: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" GLX was returning a bad value so I did sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-440:i386 inspired by this issue with Steam: (sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere in the forum, I searched on xmodmap and didn't find anything relevant)ĮDIT: I didn't follow one tutorial in particular, but here's a brief recap: Should I remove the ubuntu-x-swat ppa's?.What's the problem causing xmodmap to fail?.Release v=18.04,o=Canonical,a=bionic,n=bionic,l=Partner archive,c=partner,b=amd64Īnd finally, lspci -v: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v6/7th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers (rev 02)Ġ0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02)Ġ0:04.0 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor Thermal Subsystem (rev 02)Ġ0:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP USB 3.0 xHCI Controller (rev 21)Ġ0:14.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation Device 9d30 (rev 21)Ġ0:14.2 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Thermal subsystem (rev 21)Ġ0:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP SATA Controller (rev 21)Ġ0:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #5 (rev f1)Ġ0:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP LPC Controller (rev 21)Ġ0:1f.2 Memory controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP PMC (rev 21)Ġ0:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21)Ġ0:1f.4 SMBus: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP SMBus (rev 21)Ġ0:1f.5 Non-VGA unclassified device: Intel Corporation Device 9d24 (rev 21)Ġ1:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Release v=18.04,o=Canonical,a=bionic,n=bionic,l=Partner archive,c=partner,b=i386 Release v=18.04,o=LP-PPA-oibaf-graphics-drivers,a=bionic,n=bionic,l=Updated Open Graphics Drivers - since 2011!,c=main,b=amd64 Release v=18.04,o=LP-PPA-oibaf-graphics-drivers,a=bionic,n=bionic,l=Updated Open Graphics Drivers - since 2011!,c=main,b=i386 ![]() Release v=18.04,o=LP-PPA-ubuntu-x-swat-updates,a=bionic,n=bionic,l=Updates,c=main,b=amd64 Release v=18.04,o=LP-PPA-ubuntu-x-swat-updates,a=bionic,n=bionic,l=Updates,c=main,b=i386 Some of the ppa's were installed in an attempt to get to OpenGL 3.2 and should probably be removed: apt policy I tried to remove items not relevant here like those from " ".

Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2)Īfter logging in, I stay on the command line and it says xmodmap: unable to open display. I think the problem comes from having tried to install ppa's, but I hope the community can help me out because I'm really stuck and I need my Ubuntu! Now my Ubuntu partition will not open properly and I'm currently running on the 2nd partition of my laptop containing PureOS. Like so many others, I've been trying to upgrade my OpenGL from 3.0 to 3.2, which was probably a terrible idea to begin with but here we are.
