[Bug 280060] [NEW] NVIDIA Driver Install/Activation Fails with GeForce2

2008-10-08 Thread creg082004 
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10 Beta (with all updates as of 7 Oct 2008)
NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 71) [Recommended]
Tried to activate this driver but it fails after downloading and kicks back out 
to the Hardware Drivers screen.  Upon rebooting, there is an error message 
saying the system is running in low graphics mode and that the driver is 
missing.  Also tried enabling desktop effects and this method shows that the 
NVIDIA driver is not enabled.  After selecting the enable option, the system 
appears as though it is trying to activate it but then I get a an error message 
saying the desktop effects cannot be enabled.  The graphics card is a GeForce 2 
GTS.

[Bug 275706] [NEW] Firefox's advanced update options gray-out when checked

2008-09-29 Thread creg082004 
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I am using Ubuntu version 8.04.1 with Firefox 3 (updated as of 28 Sep
2008) and the PreferencesAdvancedUpdate options are not disabled
initially.  Once any of the options are unchecked, the corresponding
field will gray-out and become inaccessible.  Since these update options
should be handled by Synaptic, it appears they should show disabled
within Firefox and be grayed-out the first time they are viewed.  With
the way the options page works currently, there is no way to know which
program is actually handling the updates.
