VP2 Error : Failed to initialize graphics device.

[Anonymous]

I had maya2016 running on my ubuntu machine for months with no real problem.  I updated ubuntu the other day (due to a glibc vulnerability or something that I read about in the news), and now Maya will crash after about 30 seconds.  Here's what gets printed out to the terminal:

VP2 Error : Failed to initialize graphics device.
Error: The GPU adaptor of the transform to finalize is null
Error: Failed to apply color management settings on file open: Failed to finalize the color transform..
Error: The GPU adaptor of the transform to finalize is null
Error: Failed to finalize the color transform.

I got Maya running again by running this line:

john@colfax-ESC1000-G2:/usr/autodesk/maya2016/lib$ sudo ln -s libssl.so.6 libssl.so.10

which I found in this script:

which I got to from this thread:
