Updates on Envy and Evolbck

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 driver 9639
* Added: Nvidia driver 7185
* Removed: Nvidia driver 71.86.01
* Fixed: buildclean did not clean Envy's folder after the build
* Fixed: Envy's GUI shouldn't be resizable
* Changed: both Nvidia and ATI's kernel modules are removed provided that they are
already installed

You can get Envy here as usual.


Make sure you remove the previous release of Envy before you use the new one
:
sudo apt-get remove envy
sudo rm -R /usr/share/envy

then install the new Envy

NOTE: Envy 0.9.8 will:
* support Gutsy
* be compliant with Debian’s new Python Policy
* be ready for localisation
I have postponed all the other features I had planned since I’m extremely busy.

  1. Glad to see that your little script evolved so nicely. Pretty amazing, actually. Though, I would like to ask you one thing; what does Envy have different when installing the nVidia driver compared to just apt-get install nvidia-glx/-new/-legacy (which is the way I do it now)?

  2. Hi Alberto,
    First of all. Thank you for your great job.
    It seems that your last version of envy is more stable than last one.
    But I have still some instability with my Feisty 64 and my GeForce 7300 LE and the nvidia drivers. Sometimes the system freeze.
    Maybe you could help me.

  3. Alberto, hi

    Just wanted to say thanks for Evolbck. I know Evolution has now integrated their own version, but I can’t start it from command line, so can’t integrate Evolution into my own backup script.

    What would the command be? I guess it would have to specify that Evolution has already been shut down (as per the request box in the GUI), and then also contain the destination, so that the whole thing is completely scripted.

    Cheers!
    Roger
