Thanks for reporting. envyng-core_1.1.1ubuntu15 will solve the problem.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted into hardy-proposed, please test.

[Kame (jack-pot)]

Same here:
 sudo envyng -t

You need to enable updates from -proposed in System -> Administration
-> Software Sources -> Updates (sorry, translated from German, might
be slightly different).

[kulight (kulight)]

The proposed repo's are enabled but still i dont get the fix (envyng-core_1.1.1ubuntu15)

[showgun (showgun)]

Same here, Ubuntu updates are all selected with daily update with the option
Only notify about available Updates

I also do my daily update on my own more often when there is an OS upgrade <G>

There has to be something else

[Kame (jack-pot)]

Binary package has not yet been uploaded.

[Kame (jack-pot)]

Binary is finally uploaded.

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14386140/envyng-core_1.1.1ubuntu15_all.deb

[Stefan Tzeggai (alfonx-deactivatedaccount)]

Installing the binary fixes the problem for me. I didn't get it via Ubuntu updates yet, having update repositorys enabled.

[Alden (jason-alden-benoit)]

FYI - I received update in USA this morning.

"Installing the binary fixes the problem for me. I didn't get it via Ubuntu updates yet, having update repositorys enabled."

[showgun (showgun)]

Update came on via Update manager problem is fix envyng start properly no more crash.

[Kame (jack-pot)]

Update doesn't fix everiything.

Envy does start... but cannot install any drivers.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Kame: please wait until the new restricted-modules are uploaded to the servers.

[Davide Corona (corona-davide)]

Updated by using this package:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14386140/envyng-core_1.1.1ubuntu15_all.deb

fixed!
envyng doesn't crash anymore

[Marco da Silva (igama)]

Working with core ubuntu15 :)

No luck on 64bit hardy.

[Kame (jack-pot)]

PS It's a common error for 64 bit 2.6.24 kernel. Could be solved simply applying a patch to the fglrx kernel deb.

I've attached the patch...

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

@Kame
Thanks for reporting. Removing diversions in the preinst (like I do for NVIDIA) should solve the issue. I'll work on it.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

@Kame
See if revision 29 solves your problem (when it's available).

Look at the fix I've posted if you simply apply it to your .deb it will work on 64bits OS.

It's ATi's fault. While building the package they copied 2 lines without remembering to edit them afterwards...

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Kame: I can't reproduce the problem here. Did you use the deb packages generated by ATI's official installer?

[Kame (jack-pot)]

Right know I'm usig 8.4 from ATi's official installer, but I had to patch them with the fix I've posted to properly install them on 64bit kernel.

envy.deb package returns the same error I had with ati drivers without patch...

Trying to get your .deb and patch it to see if it solves the problem.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Kame: my packages try to remove those diversions however I didn't take into account the diversions which the ATI installer creates. I'll have a look at such diversions.

[Kame (jack-pot)]

SOLVED.

My problem was dued to ATi drivers previously installed from ATi packager 's .debs and not to envy ones!
I had installed Cat 8.4 from ATi build .deb to test them out.
Unfortunatly diversion on file LibGL.so.1 wasn't removed by ATi deb uninstall.
The result was a "corrupted system".

Thanks to Alberto I've figured out how to solve it:

sudo mv /usr/lib/fglrx /usr/lib/bakfglrx
sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
sudo rm /usr/lib/bakfglrx

Now everything is back to normal. With envy packed drivers running great.

I think we could definitely close this bug...

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

envyng-core copied to hardy-updates and intrepid.

[Keller Giacomarro (keller-g)]

Still seeing this in Intrepid Alpha-4. Running envyng from the command line produces:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "interface.py", line 428, in <module>
    a = Interface()
  File "interface.py", line 126, in __init__

    if 173 in candidates['nvidia'] and 177 in candidates['nvidia']:

Any ideas?

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Keller: I have uploaded a new release of envyng-core.

Type:
sudo apt-get --purge remove envyng-core

(don't worry if this command gives you an error)
sudo rm -R /usr/share/envy

sudo apt-get install envyng-core

then launch it with:
envyng -t

Let me know how it goes

[castorgris (castorgris)]

it's working with the CLI, but not with the gtk user interface.

Still having :

$ envyng -g
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/envyng-gtk/envynggtk.py", line 7, in <module>
    from Envy import objects
ImportError: cannot import name objects

when i try to use graphic interface with intrepid alpha 4.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

castorgris: the GTK interface won't work on Intrepid.

You can try envng-qt (make sure that it's version 2.0) and launch it with envyng -k

[SpeedyGonsales (stem)]

Update of kernel to version 2.6.27.1 (Intrepid) today resulted in error msg nvidia: fail, resolve manually (I write from memory, thats not verbatim msg).

After that I tried envy, and get as above "envynggtk.py crashed with ImportError in <module>()"

I tried procedure you wrote above:

1.sudo apt-get --purge remove envyng-core
2.sudo rm -R /usr/share/envy
3.sudo apt-get install envyng-core
4.envyng -t

All went well, kernel at boot again loaded 177 module, everything is ok (and I know to test envyng in text mode next time before I start googling :-))

[alienexplorers (dfsjr47)]

sudo envyng -t and envyng both fail to load the nvidia drivers in 8.10.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

@alienexplorers : please don't change the status of a report when it's marked fixed released by a dev. If you are facing a bug with this package then first check if there is an open report with the same problem. If you're unsure then fill a new report. We can mark it as duplicate if it's a known issue.

Thanks in advance.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

alienexplorers: I think it's not the same bug. Please follow Jean-Baptiste suggestion and file a new bugreport.

[Rolando F. Blanco C:. (rolando)]

I did try from the Terminal, see that.

The gtk interface failed but text mode worked but there was a problem bulding fglrx.ko. here is the error i got

Error! Build of fglrx.ko failed for: 2.6.27-3-generic (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.522/build/ for more information.

the makelog contains the following lines

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Rolando: the gtk interface is broken and won't be fixed in time for Intrepid's release.
type:
sudo apt-get install envyng-qt

envyng -k

and you will use the qt interface.

cipher27: that doesn't depend on EnvyNG. Currently the fglrx driver doesn't work with Intrepid. See this bugreport:

Ok Alberto, Thanks :D

This bug now exists in Karmic. I wouldn't have noticed, but a recent upgrade trashed all nvidia users and I was trying to use this as a work around.
