Envy Release Notes • Desktop Effects with NVIDIA cards ∘ Try to enable the Desktop effects, let Restricted Drivers Manager install the driver again, then (don’t reboot) use Envy again and finally reboot. • The ATI module couldn’t be loaded at times. ∘ usually a depmod -ae solved the problem but I’ve tried to fix […]
Here is the changelog of envy 0.9.8-0ubuntu13: envy (0.9.8-0ubuntu13) gutsy; urgency=low * Fixed: Serbian localisation was used in a Czech locale environment * Fixed: Corrections to the Russian translation * Added: Czech translation * Fixed: the description in debian/control didn’t mention the ATI driver as you can see, the Czech had to use Envy localised […]
This new release will make your experience with ATI and the Desktop Effects a bit easier (in Ubuntu and in its derivatives). The fglrx driver was not included in Compiz’s whitelist in Ubuntu Gutsy, therefore ATI users were not able to use the Desktop Effects. Envy is now able to solve this problem for you […]
There are a few changes in this new release: 1) the new NVIDIA driver 100.14.23 is now available 2) the new ATI driver 8.42.3 is available, however I have to say a few things about it: * Compiz might be a bit slow, at least on my X1600 (make sure you’re using Compiz 0.6 or […]
I have added multilingual support to Envy’s next release, which is still under development, but so far I have added only the support for the Italian language as regards, the GUI. The textual installer will remain in English (at least in next release). What can you do to help? 1) First of all install gettext: […]
If you installed Envy New and you typed “envy -t” you might have noticed this error (which you can’t reproduce if you use the graphical installer): Traceback (most recent call last): File “interface.py”, line 13, in from instun import main ImportError: No module named instun This problem is fixed in envy_0.9.8-0ubuntu5. Thanks for your feedback. […]
There are a few announcements I would like to make: 1) Envy is now available in 2 different packages: “Envy New” and “Envy Legacy”. “Envy New” supports only Ubuntu Gutsy and Ubuntu Feisty. It is compliant with Debian’s New Python Policy. “Envy Legacy” supports all the other systems which Envy used to support (have a […]
Eitan Isaacson made me notice an error in Evolbck‘s code. My bad, I thought I had already done that. I guess I’m way too busy and (therefore) distracted. I have kept Envy up-to-date since new Nvidia drivers have been released. There are a few bugfixes as well. * Added: Nvidia driver 96.43.01 * Removed: Nvidia […]
here is the list of changes: * Added: Nvidia driver 100.14.19 * Removed: Nvidia driver 100.14.11 * Fixed: Composite was disabled for the latest driver (this meant that no 3D Desktop effects could be enabled without reenabling Composite) * Added: GUI dependecy checker. If some dependencies are not installed, an embedded version of Synaptic is […]
First of all thanks for all your kind comments. I am putting the posts back. After all Envy was born for the Community and its existence wouldn’t make sense without its users, who provide feedback and contribute to make Envy an easy alternative to reading long howtos (which I write as well) and to long […]
