error when upgrading vdpau

[jfenton78]

I'm using the Karmic vdpau ppa to upgrade vdpau, but I get the following error in synaptic

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-185_185.18.36-0ubuntu10~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa4_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so.185.18.36', which is also in package nvidia-185-libvdpau 0

How can I do an upgrade? If I go into the restricted drivers I see options for version up to 195, but none of them work. It tried to down load, but fails.

Uninstall the the nvidia-xxx-libvdpau and nvidia-xxx-libvdpau-dev. Where xxx is the version number. The ppa use a packed called libvpau1 and libvdpau-dev instead.

OK i removed nvidia-185-libvdpau & I didn't have nvidia-xxx-libdvdpau-dev installed.

I ran sudo apt-get upgrade and this is what I got

~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Are you sure you removed the proper package?

$ apt-file search libvdpau_nvid
nvidia-185-libvdpau: /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so
nvidia-185-libvdpau: /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so.185.18.36
nvidia-185-libvdpau: /usr/lib32/libvdpau_nvidia.so
nvidia-185-libvdpau: /usr/lib32/libvdpau_nvidia.so.185.18.36

I would then manually install the 195 driver with

sudo apt-get install nvidia-195-kernel-source,nvidia-195-modaliases,nvidia-glx-195,libvdpau1

ARGHHHH sooo confusing 2 days back to Ubuntu and everything is a mess

I don't know if this is the right thread, but I am pulling my hair out trying to have the NVidia 195 driver along with MythTV.

I have re-installed the 195 driver as stated above (after deleting nvidia-185-libvdpau: /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so.185.18.36). Rebooted, and my fix package error was gone, but after I reinstalled MythTV (it was removed when I reinstalled the NVidia drivers), the error which brought me to search for a vdpau solution came back, i.e.) uddate continually complains of a missing package "nvidia-185-libvdpau" and tries to install it and I get the error

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-185-libvdpau_185.18.36-0ubuntu9_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so', which is also in package nvidia-glx-195 0

and when I try to run mythbackend I get this related error

ack@Zeus:~$ mythbackend
mythbackend: error while loading shared libraries: libvdpau.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ack@Zeus:~$

and using package manager, I see that libvdpau1 isn't installed and if I try to install it it removes all of MythTV

ARGHHHH sooo confusing 2 days back to Ubuntu and everything is a mess, HELP this old newbie!

I solved it doing:

sudo apt-get purge libvdpau1 #will remove libvdpau1* mplayer*
wget http://ubuntu.wallawalla.edu/ubuntu//pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/nvidia-185-libvdpau-dev_185.18.36-0ubuntu9_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i nvidia-185-libvdpau-dev_185.18.36-0ubuntu9_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install mplayer
