Envy 0.9.6-0ubuntu2 is now available

Envy 0.9.6-0ubuntu2 is now available. This is mainly a bugfix release.

Here is the changelog:

* Changed: libGL.so* is removed with dpkg-divert
* Changed: the textual installer asks whether to restart the computer (instead of
asking to restart the Xserver)
* Added: option to restart the computer in the textual installer

Please, remember to remove your previous release of Envy before you install this new release:
sudo apt-get --purge remove envy

You can get Envy here as usual.

P.S. No Gutsy support until Gutsy is released.

  1. Alberto, just had to say many thanks. I was struggling for hours yesterday trying to get a 8800 GTX invoked under Kubuntu Fiesty, almost at the point of giving up I tried Envy and it worked like a charm with Beryl and all. Thank you so much to you, and your team. Keep up the great work it’s very much appreciated.

  2. Ciao Alberto, non so se a te è successo.Ho scaricato gli ultimi driver Nvidia,e quando da compiz fusion attivo passo a metacity mi crasha tutto il pc.Allora ho downgradato i driver mettendo i 9639,però così compiz mi crasha da solo e ho dei difetti grafici nei giochi….Ci stanno delle opzioni nuove da attivare nello xorg.conf?
    Grazie e come sempre ottimo lavoro 😉

  3. Could we just get a “use at your own risk” gutsy version? That would be a great help. Thanks for all the hard work!

  4. Hi Alberto,

    there still seems to be one problem with your tool. After installing the latest nvidia driver, i cannot compile any OpenGL apps. The error message says: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

    I solved it by: sudo ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so

    Cheers Kermit

    I will write a blog post in which I will explain how to use Envy on Gutsy (at your risk).

    @Kermit
    the bug seems to be solved in Envy 0.9.7, which I will release soon.
