Envy
Brief explanation of the name of my application:
The Italian for "envy" is "invidia" ( I guess you can see the play on words)
What is Envy?:
"Envy" is an application
for Ubuntu Linux and Debian
written in Python and PyGTK
which will:
1) detect the model of your graphic card (only ATI and Nvidia cards are supported) and install the appropriate driver. However automatic detection can be overridden with the "Manual installation"
2) install the right driver for your card and all the required dependencies
3) configure the Xserver for you
Envy features both a GUI (which you can launch only inside a Desktop Environment) and a textual interface which you can use if, for example, you cannot start the Xserver.
Requirements
- An Operating system and an Architecture listed in the table
below (PPC is NOT supported)
An Internet connection (better if broadband)
WARNING: you will
have to remove the driver you installed with Envy before upgrading
Debian or Ubuntu to a newer release (e.g. upgrading Ubuntu Edgy to
Ubuntu Feisty or Debian Etch to Debian Lenny).
You will have to type the following command:
sudo envy --uninstall-all
[NOTE: This is no longer necessary with EnvyNG]
