Regardless of *any* negativities you may have received, mate, you’re doing an absolutely amazing job with an absolutely amazing distro and delivering an absolutely amazing experience – and for those that are complete newbies, you’re making it all the more easy to tease them into using GNU/linux as their fulltime OS. Thanks for your efforts, and blessings!
Somewhat disappointing that the NVIDIA drivers are not working on mt Acer Aspire 7520. I enabled the driver but it fails to work work with a kernal module error. I tried an update and Upgrade but no joy the nvidia-settings tool works but say the driver is not being used, but the “special” hardware utility says it is enabled ? really too bad I had just did the install over Fedora that too has issues with Nvidia. When are developers going to realize that lots of Linux folks have the low end laptops which seem to use Nvidia a lot.
On the other hand I have Kubuntu (lenny) installed on an external drive and the Nvidia driver work just file. Also I have eLive17 install and that works too.
Phil,
The kernel that ships with 2.6 is 2.6.32-22, it also has -21. If you remove 22 and use the -21 image you can get it to work. This is what I did as even following all the blacklist module threads didnt work.
Just my 2 cents 😀
Either way, awesome distro no matter what. Nice job Theemahn, Canonical should just hire you now and quit acting like biatches.
You are almost correct 😉 Ultimate Edition 2.6 x64 does, x86 has 2.6.32-21 only. It is my fault the kernel in x64 slipped through. I have big shoulders; I can admit when I made a mistake. You are once again correct there are 2 options select the second kernel from the list on each boot or –purge the 22 kernel. I am sorry fellas, I am not perfect.
You need restricted drivers. Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and check the box to enable the restricted drivers for your NVIDIA card if the option is provided.
2.6 like you said is golden I love everything about it and from the pre testing I’ve done on the boot disk I burned its beautiful if you ever want a extra hand by all means I’d love to help out in anyway possible Keep’em coming man I love your work and really appreciate the someone(s) out there making this all possible. Much love.

No problem man! This distro is so badass that I can easily forgive something I never perceived as a mistake to begin with!
