Well, it never fails that when I upgrade Ubuntu, I run into a few issues. Gotta love open source. :-)
The issue was with my ATI drivers. I had initially installed them using ATI's script for the catalyst 10.4 driver which is suppose to have support for Ubuntu 10.04. But after installing it, every little movement was super choppy and jerky. So I decided to remove it. Usually easy enough right? Just a sudo apt-get remove fglrx and success? Nope.
Removing fglrx ...
dpkg-divert: mismatch on package
when removing `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by fglrx'
found `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by xorg-driver-fglrx'
dpkg: error processing fglrx (--purge):
subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
fglrx
It failed. After searching for a long time, I finally came across a discreet page that gave me what I needed to make it happen.
sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 sudo dpkg --force-all --purge fglrx
Success! Afterward, just make sure you reinstall either xorg's open source ATI driver or Ubuntu's fglrx package as you might find yourself in low graphics mode otherwise :-) You may also need to do
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Later...I found this post which helped tremendously as well.
