 Re: Proper way to install/update from community reposThey are still having to reinstall the video driver due to the xserver being replaced, aren't they?

Re: Proper way to install/update from community repos
I usually wait a day or two before installing any updates. If there's a problem, you'll most likely hear about it here. If there are no problems reported, I take 'em all. I think that may have saved me some grief with the xorg updates. _________________ Asus M4A87TD USB3 AMD 870 Socket AM3 Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz Quad Core GeForce 9500 GT 1GB PCIe, nVidia TwinView Kingston 2G x 2 1333 DDR3 WD Caviar 500GB x 2 SATA hdd |

Re: Proper way to install/update from community repos Yes, the xorg updates have been the only problem (using the CR), and that was kinda expected.

Re: Proper way to install/update from community repos
Only if you spit in RFS's eye and use a proprietary video driver  Like lucky9 noted, the rebuild is expected, just like it would need to be done for a newer kernel. _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |
