borgware, The working update-manager was nothing to do with me. Just lucky :) I've done a bit of digging and asked a few knowledgable people and apparently your Nvidia card should work under feisty. You just need to install the right drivers for it. Because Nvidia won't release their drivers under an open source license they can't be included in Ubuntu by default. You can install them yourself however. Just a couple of things to check. Have you ever installed Nvidia drivers using envy or directly from the nvidia website? If you have there may be a clash with Ubuntu's restricted-manager. If not try the following:
boot into recovery mode and run the following commands, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new then to enable the driver run, sudo nvidia-glx-config enable try a reboot and see what happens. I'm told it should be possible to get that card working in Ubuntu, it might just need a bit of tweaking. If you need more help ask in one of the following places. This has moved from a bug report to a support request and this thread isn't really the best place to handle it anymore. Try the answers section of launchpad https://answers.launchpad.net or the ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/ or ask in #ubuntu if you are an irc user. hope you get it sorted, Richard -- Could not initialize the package information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111682 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
