live CD does not ship nvidia-glx

[Martin Pitt]

At least the amd64/desktop CD does not ship nvidia-glx, so that desktop-effects cannot be enabled for nvidia cards in the live system. We should also make the apt CD source available by default in the live system.

Let's settle this question for Feisty.

Michael, what do you think about doing something like 'apt-cdrom -m add' in casper, to make the live-ship packages available in the live system?

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

That sounds good. Maybe it can even be done via the livefs build ?

Hm, I'm not sure whether we would want to have that cdrom apt source
by default in the installed system (which would happen if we do it
during livefs build, AFAIK?). Setting it up in casper would make it
available only for the live session, which would make sense to me for
live-ship.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Hm, good point. So casper :)

Fixed in bzr.

I figured out how to do it!

1. Install the nvidia-glx driver using the Restricted Driver Manager.
2. Press CTRL+ALT+F1
3. Type "sudo su".
4. Type "killall Xorg".
5. Type "startx" if X doesn't restart on its own.

Enjoy!

2. Log out

should be sufficient. If not, that would be a bug in restricted-manager.
