[GRLUG] Ubuntu Lucid & nvidia

[Benjamin Flanders]

I've had amazing luck with lucid.  Running Dell E6500 with NVDIA Quatro NVS
160M.
A notification came up asking if I wanted to update Ubuntu to the latest.  I
haven't had much luck and usually just reinstall the OS, but I decided to
give it a shot.  I clicked "yes" and waited for the worse.

It downloaded, installed and asked to reboot, while I was working on it.
 Everything worked the first time.  Wireless, NVIDIA, dual Monitor setup.
All the settings were saved from the old OS.

I was really impressed.

Sounds like I might be the only one :(


Share and Enjoy
