1) Installed Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 2) Upgraded to the proprietary NVIDIA drivers 3) Noticed a symbolic link issue with the NVIDIA drivers 4) Followed instructions to fix it from an Ubuntu group 5) The "fix" screwed everything up 6) Reinstalled the whole operating system out of a lack of interest for fixing the issue by hand (without deleting the two other partitions) 7) 10 minutes later, back to square one with all of the settings intact. 8) Awesome.

Ahahahahhahahah. Try Manjaro, you have proprietary there on install ;)

We'll have to make a video of Slimer installing dkms, creating a new initramfs, adjusting grub and blacklisting Nouveau and then installing nvidia. Would be fun to watch him back that out.

William Poaster
<chuckle>Yes, that would be fun.

If he thinks Ubuntu is hard he needs to go back to Windows.

Melzzzzz says that slimeball claims he installed Linux in the 90s. LOL -- By W3Cook's analysis of Alexa's data, 96.3 percent of the top 1 million web servers are running Linux. The remainder is split between Windows, 1.9 percent, and FreeBSD, 1.8 percent. ZDNet - October 2015.

I believe we have different notions completely. Can you stop asking for my attention?

This forum is a leaking porta potty. Being self-governed as it is, the email infrastructure will never go away but it'll never be what your grandfather would use.

All that matters is that William Poaster gets to deal out his prank call and then hang up and giggle about it. The fact that Steve Carroll is a real person on the other end of the phone is the game. William Poaster is often seen posting "NOT THERE" when it comes to details on a site where info does exist... but William Poaster is just too thickheaded and lost to discern any advice he sees.
