Envy 0.8.2 features a new option (“5 – Install the ATI/NVIDIA driver Manually”) which will enable users to choose the version of the (ATI/Nvidia) driver between the list of available drivers instead of relying upon Envy’s automatic detection. Of course automatic hardware detection is still there.
envy_0.8.1-0ubuntu7 fixes a problem with ATI 9200/9250 cards, therefore if you had problems with Envy I suggest you to try this small bugfix release.
Yesterday the exam went great and as soon as I got back home I started working on the packages for my repositories (it took me 9 hours to upload them all). I have updated the ATI driver to the latest release 8.33.6 and the repositories (in general) should work well now (if they don’t, please […]
