Damage to files from previous attempts and incomplete troubleshooting is a weak defence. Think about it, I purged and reinstalled everything you said to reinstall, even X and everything releated, taking an extra step, and your guide overwrote all nessecary files. So there are no "old files" remaining in the equation, after running your script.
I was negative about two parts of advice. One that was old, badly laid out, hard to follow and broke a previously working part of my system, so I felt it was only right to wrn others to avoid the guide, and yours, which although new broke even more of my system, and you had requested feedback. I've never been told by anyone to install, apart from to fix glxinfo, which I fixed myself, without an install. You, nor any of the guides you work with (or steal from) have mentioned reinstalling. Never. Do not lie. I use the whole how to. Both as a whole paste after activating sudo, and when that doesn't work line by line, to see where it goes wrong. And yes, I stated your copy/paste script "broke" my networking. GUI interface Network Manager is used to configure wireless, the GUI depends on X, you broke X, left me with a terminal, and no working networking to redownload X for reinstallation. Chances are this has happened to many other WiFi users and they're so stuck without a computer you just haven't heard back from them. And you ended asking for feedback again. But if you are provided with any slightly negative feedback, you'll simply deny it's truth, your guide couldn't possibly be at fault, could it? My advice? Don't use the guide. It broke my system beyond use, and it was only by chance I had another computer I could get it back. You may be lucky enough to have wired networking. However, dougfractal doesn't even own the card, he hasn't tested it himself, he's just compiling old guides into forms of his own and when your setup already working really well, just without the extra of direct rendering, I think I'd rather just live with a less than outstanding video performance than risk losing it all. Chances are it'll be in Gutsy anyway. -- DRI not Automatically Enabled for ATI Rage Mobility P/M - Mach64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
