Firstly, i've deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And then tried below command to install mesa on Ubuntu 12.04.2.

sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa && sudo apt-get install libosmesa6

After reboot computer, Ubuntu doesn't start up ! (stay on Black Screen)

What am i doing wrong And how fix it ?


Edit (More information) :

[Sorry my English is not fine]

I'm using scilab. When i do some operations like plot , Scilab was crashed. For solving this problem , i did all things in this link

According to following part of above link,

Likely, there is a workaround to tackle this issue. One solution is to use a software accelerated driver. To do it, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, look for the Section called Device and change the option Driver to mesa.

I must edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, But there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ for me!

For this reason, through below command i've created xorg.conf : Ctrl+Alt+F1

sudo service lightdm stop
Xorg -configure

Allright, I've copied /home/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/.

Also, According to following section of above link :

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Your Graphic card"
        Driver  "vesa"
[...]
EndSection

I must enter my graphic card model in "Your Graphic card" and also "vesa". I don't know what exactly vesa is ! I've google it and someone said in here for install vesa do below things and i did :

sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa && sudo apt-get install libosmesa6

After all the steps above, i have restart computer and then Ubuntu doesn't start up and stay on Black Screen !

Through LiveDisk I've boot Ubuntu, I guessed maybe it's because of xorg.conf, I removed that as the default and reboot again, Ubuntu does't start up again !

Something similar happened to me after I installed libgles1-mesa. It removed ubuntu-desktop, so I had to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and reinstall it in tty1.

Installing libgles1-mesa messes up my system
