Software Issues / 410.73 nvidia drivers

« on: October 29, 2018, 09:16:21 PM »

hi all;
if you want to upgrade you may have to do what i did  for the  410.66 drivers and download the i386 versions and libs as they keep timing out/no network avail check your internet for me. i've changed repo etc and some reason i keep going back to u.s repos when i'm in canada.
it even gave me a french repo when choosing pick best so another odd issue.
just a heads up.

Software Issues / upgrade nvidia 410.60 drivers

« on: October 23, 2018, 06:55:47 PM »

Hi;
While these drivers are in synaptic and not the driver manager you can upgrade to it and have it work on  4.18.16 kernel will try on 4.19
the only issue is I had to use sudo apt --fix-broken install after getting lib nvidia-compute i386and amd64 installed via dpkg -i cause they would not download.
they failed. i'll include them here if you want to install these are the 18.04 versions not 18.10.
i'm on it now and all seems well. will try with 4.19 kernel.

heres the link :https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wWvc5PSa1nOvdma3V3oknJlS_inEMIvf?usp=sharing 
files were too big to add here.

General Discussion / 4.19.rc4 kernel

« on: September 21, 2018, 12:57:04 AM »

Hi;
While I know not many of us dabble in the kernel upgrades. I'm the one freak that does.
4.19rc4 while installs with min issue in ukuu it is not a good mix if you need the Nvidia driver.
As normal if you play with kernel upgrades do so at own risk and so far if you wait till none rc they work.
this may work fine with none closed driver or  Nouveau (this was not tested) nv driver installed is 396.54.

nvidia 396.54 is working on 18.04.1 lts upgraded had issue at first getting libnvidia-compute-396.54-i386 installed at first.
after manual install from repo after having graphics.ppa installed it worked.

« on: May 01, 2018, 10:37:01 AM »

Hi;
I use Ukuu to do kernel updates for 16.04 based distros/Supergamer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iue6Mi25ZT0
which was based on the OMG Ubuntu link:https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/ukuu-easy-way-to-install-mainline-kernel-ubuntu.

you may need to update to a newer kernel and or graphics driver. this is tested  with latest kernel and nvidia driver

Software Issues / install gimp 2.10 in supergamer

« on: May 01, 2018, 10:31:13 AM »

Hi;
All I used the flatpak install to get gimp 2.10 and then remove gimp 2.8 from synaptic.
I got the guide from here : https://itsfoss.com/gimp-2-10-release/

Installing GIMP 2.10 with Flatpak in Ubuntu-based Linux distributions
You need to enable Flatpak support first. Use the commands below to install Flatpak in Ubuntu.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak
You can refer to this page to know how to enable Flatpak support in other Linux distributions.

Once you have Fltapak support, use the command below to install GIMP 2.10:

flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
Once installed, if you don’t see it in the menu, you can run it using the command below:

flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP
