Close the window, then open terminal
sudo -i
nautilus
navigate back to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and you should now have the elevated permissions to remove files.
I deleted them. Meanwhile when I run the command
glxinfo | grep Mesa
the OpenGL appears again
Which command?
As I understood it, you were reverting back to the original OpenGL, not removing it entirely.
Also, what is your end goal? Ignoring OpenGl, what are you trying to achieve?
I just have to go back to the nvidia drivers because I installed the mesa-opengl drivers and I have some issues with some applications.
Ok, what happens if you install the Nvidia Drivers directly? or use
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
You can check the available drivers in Software & Updates > additional drivers tab.
You can directly install a nvidia driver by number, if needed.
For example:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-460
You can also use the BETA drivers:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Reboot to test.
I'm confused, so I cannot remove the openGL?
