don't understand where that mismatch come from, you have the same setup of my machine (nvidia drivers and googleearth),
your system doesn't show a libGL.so version: 260.19.29  ???

please try also the following:
ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.*

@AS

Here is output of the line command

Code: [Select]

No, Naah.... this is not the output of command I requested .... where are the symbolic links to libGL.so ?

@AS -- here's the output of the command ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.*

Code: [Select]
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    663 Feb 12 00:32 /usr/lib/libGL.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     10 Feb 12 00:32 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 Feb 12 00:32 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.260.19.29*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 758308 Feb 12 00:32 /usr/lib/libGL.so.260.19.

^^ Looks like the .29 is up there... (cause of mismatch)

Ummm... I'm not sure I understand your question. How do I search for those symbolic links? ???

in your output there are links to libGL.so.1 but not to libGL.so,  retry please, it's important (copy & paste):

ls -l /usr/lib/*/libGL.*

So how do we fix this? (without calling the Ghostbusters  :D)

Malware?!?!  And (up until now) I thought Linux was supposed to be malware-free...  :-\

Anyway, let me back-track:

The first report was « Reply #13 on: Today at 06:49:08 PM »

The next report was « Reply #20 on: Today at 07:47:30 PM »

So there is almost exactly one hour in between.

The stuff I did:

  • Deleted and then installed dkms and x11 nvidia drivers (as Texstar suggested in Reply #10)... but I remember doing this *before* my first report... I could be wrong though...
  • Reinstalled Google Earth (coz I was thinking maybe the problem is with Google Earth -- it wasn't, and it still doesn't launch)
  • Updated Synaptic package sources list and reloaded (as stated by Texstar in this message.)
  • Ran "Update Package Sources List" from Taskbar >Software Center and chose a different package mirror based on what's fastest in the repo speed test
  • Web browsing
  • Downloading some documents (direct download)
  • Testing some KTorrent downloads
  • hmmmmm.... that's probably all of them

Btw, I ran that line command again (just to make sure the checksum is still what it was the last time we checked):

Code: [Select]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     12 Feb 19 21:25 /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 835292 Feb 15 21:57 /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 Feb 19 21:25 /usr/lib/nvidia96xx/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.96.43.19*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 564468 Jan 21 09:14 /usr/lib/nvidia96xx/libGL.so.96.43.19*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 Feb 20 07:22 /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.260.19.36*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 809916 Feb 16 00:14 /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.260.19.36*

... and I think it still is. (whew)

@plankton172,

it's not a good thing "to change the things" while you are trying to understand what is wrong... you are fooling yourself (and the forum attendants)  :-[

How can we believe at your reports now ? Well, in the end you should really know if it's malware or not.

@AS

I only "change things" when they are suggested in the forums/threads. I will not do them unless a person more knowledgeable than me would recommend it (given my obvious newness to PCLinuxOS). Are you saying I should not have done some of the stuff I did in that span of one hour? Which one, exactly? And how was I suppose to know any of them will change the report of a certain line command? I hoped there was a warning but I guess I shouldn't expect too much.

It is not my intention to fool either myself or the forum attendants. I think I am free to experiment (to some extent) with some things in order to arrive at a solution (like how I was able solve my printer problem). But if this causes more harm than good, then I probably should keep this mind in future situations.

Please open a terminal and type

rpm -qa|grep nvidia

so I can see what versions you have installed.

Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.
