> a manual installation requires a manual uninstallation. now r-m handles /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common, so that if for example fglrx is disabled in such file, if you choose to enable Ubuntu shipped 'ATI restricted driver', r-m takes care of removing 'fglrx' from DISABLED_MODULES and launching /sbin/lrm-manager --quick.
This is helpful in case a user installs fglrx manually and then, perhaps after upgrading the kernel, wants to switch to Ubuntu provided version of fglrx and forgets about /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common. Still, this new feature doesn't help in case the user dist-upgrades and he forgets to switch back to ati driver (either manually or with the help of r-m). It would be a good idea to check if update-manager takes care of this, otherwise to file a bug so that update-manager cooperates with r-m in handling this issue. -- [envy] Possible Nvidia probs upgrading from Edgy to Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
