OR
Code:
wget http://tinyurl.com/2xqcs7
When you have the file, just do
Code:
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.09-pkg2.run
And it'll install. You might need to install kernel headers through apt, but that isn't very hard to do either.

Already installed everything through Envy and Ubuntu updater.

It still wont boot up into Ubuntu - Unless I remove "quiet" and "splash" from the boot options on GRUB.

How do I permanently remove them?

Also, how can I manually change my refresh rate? Currently at 50Hz when it should be at 60Hz. Other than that, it works wonders.

Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst.

For refresh rate, that should be a VESA mode I think. Google it.

I did, I edited the xorg.conf, but the refresh rates were already correct.

I can't seem to change the mode in my screen resolution. The only option is 50Hz.

That's odd. What resolution are you on?

I have the same (or something simmilair) as you. My screen goes to standby when loading Ubuntu, but it restores when it has loaded X.

O and if you want to permenantly change grub, use "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" and remove the options by hand.

It detects that fine, just the refresh rate.

It's bad for the humans eye.

Currently on Ubuntu now and loving it. Have no problems with a bit of terminal work, I actually enjoying doing stuff that way. No real problems so far, only that I get "permission denied" when trying to "make install" certain applications ( avant-window-navigator ).

When doing installations, you'll need root access. Easy way for this is to just do "sudo -s".

And about the refresh rate, well, I have no idea. If setting the correct VESA mode didn't do it, then I don't know what will.
Have you tried changing it from the nVidia control panel?

Think you could pass me your awesome little code for Rapidshare?

Ofcourse
Seems my local network is having troubles again, but I'll post it in a bit when that's fixed.

Righty, here we go.

1) You'll need to find your rapidshare cookie, in the netscape cookie format. Firefox stores them as this, and there's quite a bit of documentation on how to find the file. Just extract the line saying '.rapidshare.com' and a bit more and put it in a file called rscookie.txt.
2) Create a file called rslinks.t (yeah, I typoed it ) and put in the links you want to download. One per line. Can be non-rs links too ofcourse
3) Create file called dodownload, put in the following bit of code:

Code:

cd /root/rapidshare;
wget --load-cookies "/root/rapidshare/rscookie.txt" --input-file="/root/rapidshare/rslinks.t" --output-file="./dllog-$(date +%F).txt"
cat rslinks.t > linksbackup.t
rm rslinks.t
> rslinks.t

You'll have to modify the path to the files ofcourse (so just replace all of /root/rapidshare with the folder where you prodded it in).
4) Run the following command:

Code:

chmod +x dodownload

You can now start downloading. I have this in my crontab so it downloads automatically at night:

Code:

2 2 * * * /root/rapidshare/dodownload

Again, modify the path.

Ofcourse you can run it manually. You'll probably want to do this in the background:

Code:

./dodownload &

And you're all set

PS: Yes, I know I run too much as root, but I really couldn't give a rat's ass.
