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 […]
The tool which I mentioned in my previous post is now available. I have packaged this tool in compliance with the new Debian Python policy (Envy’s next release will be packaged in the same way). This application is not localised yet but I think I only need to read the fine manual for this (and […]
A few days ago I was looking for a guide to export my mail and settings (my accounts, address book, calendar, filters, etc.) to my laptop and I found a few guides. I wondered why, as far as I know, there is no way to export my data in Evolution (my favourite email client)… then […]
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 […]
After about a 1 month pause from work on URandR I decided to improve the code a bit (reusing some code from Envy) and started implementing Xinerama-style dual screen. There is still some work to do and I think I might have to change a great deal of the provisional GUI I’m using in order […]
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 […]
here is the changelog: * Fixed: Envy aborted the operation with kernels named in a certain way (2.6.22-gms) * Fixed: the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22.1 folder was renamed and therefore Envy’s uninstallation was not clean. The folder get its original name back when the installation process is complete This release fixes a problem with certain recompiled kernels and […]
I have removed the posts on Envy from Planet Ubuntu, therefore you will have to keep an eye directly on my blog if you want to read more about Envy’s releases, etc. The rest of my blog posts will appear on the Planet.
Envy 0.9.7-0ubuntu7 is now available. Here is the changelog: * Added: ATI driver 8.40.4 * Removed: ATI driver 8.39.4 NOTE: the owners of Nvidia cards have no reason to upgrade to this minor release. You can get Envy here as usual.
I was contacted by No Starch Press and I was offered a free book on Ubuntu for review and I must admit that this is a book I am more than glad to review. I will try to be as balanced as possible in this review, but of course my judgement is influenced by my […]
