  2. Thanks for good work.
    Just tried Envy 0.9.1-0ubuntu2 on edgy and dapper with nvidia driver version 1.0-9755. Works great on edgy, failed on dapper.
    The reason for failure on dapper is nvidia-glx dependency on x11-common version higher than 7.0.0. Unfortunately it is 7.0.0 on dapper.

  3. Alberto,

    All the .9x series fails to install the legacy driver whereas your .8x series did it fine, I remove the older Envy with aptitude purge command, then get out of X server by ALT+F1 type envy -t and make it uninstall previous driver, then tell the latest .9x Envy to install the driver, by default it selects the 9xxx driver instead of 7xxx, after installing and configuring X server, I don’t get any GUI, it fails to load, I have to do a dpkg-reconfigure and select nv in video card to get X to start.

  4. Not sure if this is an Nvidia problem, or an envy problem

    I just installed and ran 0.9.1-0ubuntu2. Simply clicked on the .deb file, installed over the top of the older version.

    Ran the GUI, it downloaded the new Nvidia driver (9755), all went well.

    I chose the option to update my xorg.conf, rebooted, and x failed to start.

    The problem is a missing line [Section “ServerFlags”] in the modified xorg.conf, between [Section “Module”] and [Section “InputDevice”] see below:

  5. If you are having a trouble to install envy’s latest file, on your ubuntu system then please have your ubuntu updates the repository.

  6. Igor Uchenik:
    I’ll look into that

    Arup Roy Chowdhury:
    I would like to know:
    a) the model of your card
    b) the version of Ubuntu which you’re using

    Kev:
    Interesting report. I didn’t test Envy with Xinerama. I’ll fix it as I can.

  7. Sorry to reply again, but after further testing it seems that Envy does not work at all (Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy with latest updates). Using the textual interface (on yakuake) I select the option to install the ATI driver, then confirm via “yes”, then the program simply exits.

  10. Ok, I found the problem. You should make envy depend on python-glade2: by debugging the program with pydb I noticed that the GUI generated an ImportError for module glade (and for some reason the exception did not get reported). Installing it fixed the problem.
