Fixing kyms kernel

Because we haven’t gotten around to reinstalling kubuntu on kyms machine every time it does a kernel upgrade it breaks the nvidia drivers and the FusionHDTV drivers

Fixing it:

sudo -s


cd v4l-dvb-6591-dd4-withremote
make && make install

this should reinstall the fusionhdtv dual digital 4, if for some reason the folder isn’t there download a new copy form chris http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/6591/v4l-dvb-6591-dd4-withremote.tar.gz

type exit to leave super user mode (root)
now to reinstall your nvidia drivers. we cheated and just used envy to do this to launch envy in text mode use
envy -t

your computers is now reset and everything works again

LOGIN update

We ended the year with a lot of no shows. But that’s ok as it was so close to the 26th of December, we sorta expected everyone to be busy anyway.

So with the roughly 10 of us there we all had some chips and lollies, while chris showed off his new ASUS eeepc. Tony showed of his cast (broken foot)  and kde 4, and one of the other guys did a new install of linux onto his brand new laptop.

Good meeting.

To all our Linux Owners Group In Newcastle members have a great chirstmas and New year, and I’ll see you all again in February the 18th. As we skip our meeting in January for Linux.conf.au
