Alberto, pls. set yourself as a bug contact for envyNG.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Cesare: ok, I did it. Thanks.

Robert: it looks like you're trying to install the ATI driver (with automatic hardware detection) even though you're using a NVIDIA card. Try selecting the option which says "Install the NVIDIA driver" instead.

[Robert Mills (rmills764-cyberbsolutions)]

It appears to be working. The only glitch is 3d acceleration is disabled or is not supported by this build of Ubuntu/Kubuntu - it worked while under restricted drivers in previous versions - it doesn't seem to be efen considered by new drivers. As a consequence, gmes which require 3d will not run, such as Open Arena, Chromium, 3D chess, and the open source version of Doom. In Wine, have only one game working where previously I had several, and it will not work in open GL mode, only 2d mode.

[Robert Mills (rmills764-cyberbsolutions)]

Also graphics programs that rely on 3d acceleration will not even boot up

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

can you attach your:
1) /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2) /var/log/Xorg.0.log
3) /var/log/envy-installer.log (if you have one)
3) the output of this command:
glxinfo

Worked previously on older builds, but doesn't now.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Ok, I think I've found the problem (which is solved in the next release that has not yet been uploaded).

type:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-headers-$(uname -r)

then launch EnvyNG again and try to install the driver again.

Then restart.

Let me know how it goes.

[Robert Mills (rmills764-cyberbsolutions)]

This work... got the drivers and seems to work all around. Thanks. I will update you as I go through this running applications and games.

fix released in revision 10

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

@alberto,

in the future you may want to use an (LP: #xxxxx) tag in your changelog so that your uploads will automagically mark bugs with an xxxxx number as fix released in lp.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

@Cesare
thanks for your suggestion.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I typed in "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-headers-$(uname -r)" and I was able to install the nvidia drivers from envyng without any problems. I was even able to start playing urban terror! Thanks for the help.

One more note: I had this issue running Ubuntu 8.04 for x86. Just in case that helps.

I also have just had this issue running Ubuntu 8.04 for x86.
