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 let me know).
I haven’t updated my website yet therefore it might report that the ATI driver is still 8.29.9 (which is not true).
Enjoy the new drivers 😉
Hi,
The following address gives me a Page Not Found error :
http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/latest/32bit/
Did your repository’s url change ?
You said you updated the ATI driver. As for nvidia, you just recompiled 9746 against the latest kernel update, that’s it ?
Good to hear your exam went good, and thanks a lot for your work in general.

Vincent:
you can’t browse my repositories in an Internet browser.
You’ll have to add my repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list
You’re right about the Nvidia driver.
I have a question about the word envy.
On your web site it’s writ:
The iatalian of envy is invidia. I have serch envy on google an he give me “envier” (to would have the same thing that an other people). Is this definition is good?
pierluc:
If you’re asking me a definition of the word envy, here it is:
“the feeling that you wish you had something that someone else has”
I don’t speak French but I guess that “envier” is a verb (“to envy”) while my application’s name is the noun “envy” (“envie”) that is the feeling itself.
Hello,
Thanks for all your hard work, good to hear the exam went fine!
I am trying to install the updated Nvidia latest driver, and I get 404 when aptitude starts trying to download it. Is it available?
Thank you!
Urko:
the repository works well here.
1) can you post the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
2) can you copy and paste the entire output of the error?
Here you go, output of the error:
Err http://www.albertomilone.com binary/ nvidia-glx 1.0.9746+2.6.17.9-1
404 /drivers/edgy/latest/32bit/binary/nvidia-glx_1.0.9746+2.6.17.9-1_i386.deb
And in my sources.list file, this is the line for your repository:
deb http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/latest/32bit binary/
I think everything is correct…
Urko:
can you type this command and post the output?
sudo aptitude update
Is this enough?
urko@xxxxx:~$ sudo aptitude update | grep milone
Ign http://www.albertomilone.com binary/ Release.gpg
Ign http://www.albertomilone.com binary/ Translation-en_US
Ign http://www.albertomilone.com binary/ Release
Hit http://www.albertomilone.com binary/ Packages
Urko,
try this command now and post the output:
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
Still 404, just like before.
Try removing “www” from
deb http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/latest/32bit binary/
and update the list of packages again.
Other than that I wouldn’t know how to help you
Maybe my ISP has some sort of transparent cache installed. I’ll give it some time and try tomorrow again. I’ll let you know.
Thanks for your help!
Hi there, removing the “www” from the sources.list for your repository has done the trick. Updating right now, thank you!
Hi there.
When doing an apt-get update, I get the following error:
Failed to fetch http://albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/latest/32bit/binary/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
Upon further investigation, the Packages.gz file is not gzipped. It is plain text, and thus prevents your updated repository from updating.
Thanks for all of your hard work 🙂 it is really appreciated.

Sam
Hello and thanks for all the good work in keeping the repos updated! 😉
Sadly, I can’t seem to update the nVidia driver from your repos anymore. (I’m stuck at 1.0.9746+2.6.17.9-1)
So I tried manually downloading your package nvidia-glx_1.0.9746+2.6.17.12-1_i386 and installing it with GDebi, but now my Xorg server fails to start, complaining about an API mismatch (the nVidia kernel module would have version number 1.0-8776 while the X module has 1.0-9746???).
Any help please??
Whoops- sorry, doesn’t matter anymore. I just realized I should have installed the restricted modules from your repo, too. 😀
But please, fix the repository as soon as possible! 😉
For some reason, I can’t get any updated drivers. I can see the Packages.gz and i see updated files in the package list but when I run ‘apt-get update’, I don’t get any available updates.
I then tried to download some files manually:
wget http://albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/32bit/binary/nvidia-glx_1.0.9746+2.6.17.12-1_i386
–19:47:23– http://albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/32bit/binary/nvidia-glx_1.0.9746+2.6.17.12-1_i386
=> `nvidia-glx_1.0.9746+2.6.17.12-1_i386′

But, I get a 404 error.
My sources.list:
deb http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/latest/32bit binary/
Am I doing something wrong?
zivagolee:
try removing the “www” from the url so that it looks like the following:
deb http://albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/latest/32bit binary/
wow… that’s pretty weird. I wonder why removing www would make it work even though it’s the same IP.. strange.
Anywhoo.. thanks much! 🙂
That worked for me, too!
Thank you very much!! 😉
