Ultimate Edition Forum

I do not enable them by default, when building the O/S, for the exact reasons stated here it "could" break your O/S. I also have done the same days ago and I do have to agree with the snapiness the upgraded kernel provided as well as boot time. This is not a "safe" practice, please note I am running the "unreleased 32 bit" of Ultimate Edition 1.8, none the less proceed at your own risk.

This is the tab that makes those updates available:

I identified the tab as "Third-Party Software" when in fact it is the "Updates" tab. See TheeMahn's screenshot.

That's how your repo's need to look under the Updates tab to get the updates in queston: Everything checked. Sorry, my mistake. I'm behind a Windows machine at my office right now and was going by memory. Do THOSE repo's... Then reload and update.

Cool. You're probably in for some serious downloading... I think I got like 75MB worth of updates.

Post back when you've had some time to test things out? I'm curious if this is as good a deal as it seems.

Before everyone goes head first..did the upgrade..everything is not faster at least with me...
glxgears..yesterday...today

Ok, well....I did the upgrade, and I still don't have any sound. I don't know why I am having such an issue with sound, but this is somewhat irritating....

You as well as me ATI brother, please Envy re-install your drivers, they are in "experimental state", kernel wise (dkms hammered me with choppiness, but still worked) I said there are reasons for not doing so this is also one of them. I really noticed it. I hate hardy as 1.7 would take care of it. You are single I am crossfire when I get "cut down" I really get cut down. Mark my words re-install your drivers.

Sorry about this one bro...trying a 8800 gt oc card...yhought you knew..
going to reinstall till you give the word on what to do...or till you think is right..it may work for others..not for me

Reinstall Nvidia not an option with Envy...crashing and not able to install..
Option 2 installing with Hardware drivers failed....not an option..
Now have a screen resolution of 640X480...lol..
uploading some pics
Bottom line this Distro is tested by TheeMahn before he releases it..we all have the option to Try and improve..end results..not a pretty picture..to large

I went back to my hardy based install of envy ng, take note of the screenshots...

please show me a shot that does not show ATI



I am sorry if it does not appear this way, I even went back to an old build to show you, it should be there. You now have a ATI card brother, not NVidia, although I miss my NVidia it was faster then both of my ATI cards until nix wakes up and supports crossfire, I will not point fingers yet... Don't buy a second card until then believe that.
