[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Can you try installing this package. It should solve your problem (at least it does here):
http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envyng/envyng-core/envyng-core_1.1.1ubuntu8_all.deb

Let me know how it goes so that I can close the bugreport and upload the fix.

[Милош (misos)]

It works like it should. Can be marked as fixed.

[CJ (list-cj)]

It does not fix the problem for me, but perhaps it is because I am running 64bit ubuntu?

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

CJ: can you send me or attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

[CJ (list-cj)]

Sure....

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Ok, I think I have fixed it for good. CJ, can you try this package and see if it solves the problem?
http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envyng/envyng-core/envyng-core_1.1.1ubuntu9_all.deb

Let me know how it goes.

[CJ (list-cj)]

Works like a charm. Thanks a lot.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Great, thanks. I'm closing the bugreport then.

[gerben (gerben-rotman)]

I am having the same problem as reported above (i.e. the KeyError: ' ') when trying to install ATI driver. The link to the .deb file that you give here won't install the package installer tells me "Error: a later version is already installed".

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

try the package suggested on this page:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/envyng-core/+bug/219901

[gerben (gerben-rotman)]

I cannot access that page, it sais:

"Not allowed here

Sorry, you don't have permission to access this page.

You are logged in as gerben."

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

get this package:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13838301/envyng-core_1.1.1ubuntu12_all.deb

[gerben (gerben-rotman)]

Thank you, EnvyNG ran fine now.

Unfortunately it doesn't work though, in Gutsy this worked great but now in Hardy it doen't seem to do the trick. When I try to enable desktop effects I still get a dialog telling me to enable the "ATI proprietary driver", perhaps I also need to edit xorg.conf in addition to running envyNG?

[gerben (gerben-rotman)]

also fglrxinfo still sais:

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3-rc2)
