Reinstall MESA driver












1














I'm new here and will be thankful if you help me in this case.
I dunno why, but somehow I did upgrade video driver and now I want to restore the original one for current system.
Is this safe and is it work if remove/purge libraries one by one, and then install them again with commands like that:




$sudo aptitude remove libegl-mesa0:amd64
$sudo aptitude install libegl-mesa0:amd64



So I want to remove these which are 18.3~git to the
18.0.5

From the package names, or from something like apt-cache policy mesa-va-drivers | grep -C2 Version, we can see these packages come from the Oibaf repository.



To revert to the default packages you need to ppa-purge those repos.



sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers



Should revert you to the default repos and install the default packages.



In my experience the Oibaf and PKPPA repos do go bad sometimes, but usually are back to being usable within a couple of days. If it's just the latest updates that have gone wrong then it's possible to backtrack to prior versions (GUI tool Synaptic, and CLI too Aptitude both are good for that).

Thank you guys! It was helpful! This is what I've did:
First checks all packages contains oibaf



$ dpkg -l | grep oibaf


Then I checks for recommended version



$ apt policy <package-name>


And finally does install with specific version



$ sudo aptitude install <package-name>=version


Voiala, no more oibaf. My end goal was to upgrade system to 18.10 cosmic and it's done

        First checks all packages contains oibaf



        $ dpkg -l | grep oibaf


        Then I checks for recommended version



        $ apt policy <package-name>


        And finally does install with specific version



        $ sudo aptitude install <package-name>=version


        Voiala, no more oibaf. My end goal was to upgrade system to 18.10 cosmic and it's done
