I upgraded to 8.10 last night. Install went fine until I rebooted after it was done. On reboot it would hang at Starting Bluetooth.
Found the fix here:
http://www.isely.net/pipermail/pvrusb2/2008-October/001918.html
In a nut shell it was caused by my PVRUSB2 driver.
This little jem fixed that error:
"do this before you plug in the device for the
first time:
modprobe pvrusb2 initusbreset=0
Alternatively, putting the following into a file anywhere under
/etc/modprobe.d/ should work even better:
options pvrusb2 initusbreset=0
That causes udev to set this parameter for you whenever the driver gets
loaded."
Now I was able to boot with the PVRUSB2 plugged it but was still getting the pop up that the system was booting into low res mode as the nvidia drivers could not load.
I found two things that fixed this for me.
First I enabled the extra repositories.
I added the medibuntu key first:
sudo wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Backed up the repository list:
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and added these to it:
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu intrepid partner
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free
and then ran an update:
sudo apt-get update
I found all that helpful stuff here:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources.php
The last thing I did was Open Synaptic Package Manager and search for Envy. Installed both of the envy packages listed. Envy said only the 1.73 driver was supported for my card. I select the 73 driver and let it install. Rebooted and it is working fine.
Everything is working for me now.
