Sudden OpenGL Problems on Ubuntu 20 with P2D and P3D

Processing
1

I’m running Ubuntu 20.04 on a Dell T5500 with an NVIDIA Quadro K4000, and the nvidia-drivers-440 driver.

I’ve been toying with a lot of settings over the last few days, working on a few projects, and suddently I can’t run any processing sketches in an OpenGL rendering mode. I’m wondering if there’s a decent way to purge/clean/reset my driver scenario so that I can run code again.

As an example, the following code produces the following error message.

void setup()
{
  size(500,500,P2D);
}

void draw(){}

Because I got PMs about this topic, I’ll post my steps that eventually solved my problem.

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
sudo apt autoremove
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

reboot got me to a tty0 that wouldn’t do anything but blink a cursor, so with CTRL+ALT+F2 I got to a new tty and performed this:
sudo update grub

Then rebooting I was able to actually see a X session and my old login.
After starting I kept adding to the following installers until I got my P3D sketches to run:
sudo apt install libnvidia-compute-440
sudo apt install libnvidia-common-440
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-440
I’m not sure compute was necessary, but I’ve added it for the sake of completion.

Note: I’m not a Linux expert, and this is really a scorched earth method of wiping a system of drivers and starting fresh. I wasn’t certain I would be able to get an X session to start without a fresh install of Ubuntu, knowing my own abilities.
