Application problems associated with missing libGLcore.so.1 file
Dear list
I have come across a problem that I seem to be going in circles to try
to resolve.
I'd appreciate any help you might be able to offer.
I am unable to launch various apps (e.g. chromium, amarok, ...)
apparently because I lack a given library file - libGLcore.so.1
I couldn't find anything under an apt-cache search, so searched it on
the Debian website and found a number of nvidia-related packages that
contain this library file. All good.
I then attempt the following:
~$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx

and I am at a loss as to how to fix it. I don't even know how to start
processing this. I'm obviously happy to do the grunt work, but how do I
debug this & find a resolution?
Thanks for any help.
