 Hey all.

 I was looking at the Ubuntu UK LoCo local teams (confusing eh!) and
 realised not many have had team meetings. I think we should maybe get
 this in motion, and propose that we make a first meeting.
 

 I didn't even know they were supposed to. Interesting!

   
 I would personally say the first meeting be in Glasgow, in the very nice
 (and cheap) pub called the Counting House. It is located close to both
 main stations in the city. As for a date, maybe the 2nd of April?
 How would that be for you lot?
 

 Tuesdays are the best day of the week for me (Weds is my day off)
 especially if some drinking is to be involved.  Is this an open-to-all
 meeting or Glasgow only?

I spoke to Chad Longstaff on IRC, he is fine for the monday.

[ubuntu-uk] NVidia

2007-03-13 Thread martyn woollett
As a Newbie to the world of Ubuntu I'm a little confused about graphic
cards. I have a nvidia geforce 7600gs on my system, but the open gl
graphics seem jerky. this is on the various screen savers and the tux
pinball game for example. Looking at the add remove programs there
appear to be 2 nvidia downloads. Which should I use? I did try 1 but I
crashed the system and had to re-install. I think I tried the later of them.
  thanks
  Martyn

You need to install the nvidia-glx package, either using Synaptic or the 
command line if you prefer. Then press alt+F2, type 

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then change nv to nvidia in the line that says 

Driver    nv 

Save the file, restart and it should be working. You'll see an nvidia logo just 
before the login screen if the drivers are installed correctly.

Regards,
    Adam.
