A few days ago I started to have problems with my nvidia graphics… Every reboot meant reinstalling nvidia drivers (almost every reboot)

Yesterday I just tought: well everything should be better with 2.6.35, why not give it a try? Doing that yesterday evening was a bad idea since the initramfs package was brocken. (I shouldn’t expect much more in the current ubuntu maveric repos)

Today the package was fixed and I can at least start the system. Right now I’m not using any Xorg file and have the screen running at 1920×1080. Unfortunately I fell the absence of 3d acceleration :(.

The MOST IMPORTANT step this time was to ditch grub2 in favor of grub1. This solved almost all problems with one try.

I’ll post more once I’ve found out anything else!

EDIT:

• BAD: No sound

EDIT 2:

• apt-get purge pulseaudio and sound is working again 🙂

Hi there – today I switched to the 2.6.32.23 and updated the nvidia driver to 195.36.31, till now everything seems to work + the temperature of the graphics card (in nvidia-settings) dropped from ~80°C to ~60°C!!! EDIT: I do not know wether it was my system but somehow it didn’t work after a reboot… With sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and an reinstallation of the nvidia driver it works again.

Besides that I found a really bad bug in a php package today:
if(sizeof($path)==0 || substr($path,-1)!="/") $path.="/";
that might look good in the first place but the moment you think about it you should realize it sets the path to / (root dir on Linux)…

To further mix stuff here is a Link to an exercise I had to do.

And the last part: if you’re interested in Android and live in Austria / or somewhere else and the railways system supports tickets by sms or a webservice, tell me! http://code.google.com/p/railticket/ << working on that one
