Bug Description
Ive just installed Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon, The Beta Release. After installing everything, i went to "system"
Right after it, i got an erorr message.
Here there is a link to the screenshot: http://
The message said:
"The Software Source For The Package
nvidia-glx
Is not enabled"
After it, it says that i should reboot my computer and try doing the same procediure.
I tryed getting packages updates, none, i tryed looking for drivers in the synaptic package manager, all came by default already installed.
I really want to try the "compiz fusion", im a newb and this is all i could do. Hope it was already fixed, if this was reported already, im sorry, and i wont mind this being deleted.
My Video card info:
GeForce MX 4000 AGP8X 128MB DDR
I downloaded this in the "rest of the world" link placed in the beta release note.
On a side note, i want to say that there is a distribution of linux that worked perfectly fine with this hardware, and as a matter of fact, it was automatically traced and installed. I include this information, to stand out that my video card is not the cause of the error.
Another thing to add is that i went to "System"

I had the exact same problem (on nVidia FX 5700) connected with Synaptic displaying very few packages (about 1100 total). That made me take a look at System -> Administration -> Software Sources and it turn out that all the repos were disabled there. I have no idea why they were disabled (maybe because i had no internet connection during installation) but the point is that enabling them solved the problem and the Appearence -> Visual Effects nicely installed the drivers automaticaly then.

Looks like a restricted-manager issue

Hey all, thanks for the help. I got it up and working now. But what sucks is that Flash Macromedia somewhat cannot get installed and i hoped to get a 3d desktop, when i got this version of ubuntu. But this isnt a concern of this topic. Ill find a way out on it.
Anyway, thank you a lot! ^_^

Im working ok now. The thing i did was, go into System>
In my haste to get a 3d desktop, i installed some software that f**ed up my whole window management. So ill have to reinstall, once again.... >_<
