Thanks for the warning, Mark.

I don't know. I followed their advice.
So, I did the following:
1.) Install PPA.
2.) sudo apt-get update
3.) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <-- This installed and upgraded a whole boatload of...
Thanks Mark.
Yeah, you definitely want to go in with both eyes open. xorg-edgers is pretty bleeding edge stuff. I'm happy that it got me past my problem, but, if Ubuntu ever resolves the...
Ok, well, I switched back to X edgers PPA, did an update/dist-upgrade/install nvidia-current, and it worked fine, and I'm on the much updated 320-17 version.
So far, so good.

Still stuck....any suggestions, anyone?
Ok, I tried:
mjb@mars:/var/lib/dpkg$ sudo dpkg -P nvidia-current

Wow, I'm really sorry. I totally screwed up the directions.
For the 'repackage' step, you need to do:
dpkg-deb --build name_of_new_package.deb
Try that, then try installing the new package:...
Nope, you repackage with '-I'. See steps below:
cd <directory above tmpdir, where you originally put the .deb that was unpackaged>
dpkg -I name_of_your_new_package.deb
Then try the install. ...
Ok, I have a solution.
No doubt there's an easier way to do this, but, this will work. If anyone can simplify my approach, I'd welcome that.
So, so, we need a copy of...
Or, better yet, find a ppa, like abogani, that already has 3.0 kernel available for installation.
But, beware, 3.0 is *very* new, and may break stuff. I can tell you from first hand experience,...
Try:
make menuconfig
instead.

I'll work on this a bit more this evening when I get home from work.
I'll update the thread if I find a solution.

Just confirming, the abogani ppa is where I'm getting my lowlatency kernel from.
Thanks,
-Mark
Yes, I have a ppa for the '-lowlatency' kernel.
Looking at /etc/apt/sources.list.d, the following ppas are installed:
mjb@mercury:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ grep ppa *.list...
Hi all,
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on x86-64.
I did 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and when I did, it gave me kernel 3.0. (3.0.0-7-lowlatency, to be specific.)
Problem...
Hi all,
I'm running 11.04, and I'm trying to get access to my workplace VPN, which utilizes Cisco two-factor authentication. That is, I need to supply my username/password *and* a CA cert/user...
Thanks for the tip about holding shift.
This is resolved. I upgraded to grub2, and the issue was resolved.

I tried commenting out the 'hiddenmenu' directive in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but I still don't see a grub menu at boot time. Seems like changes to menu.lst don't actually have any effect.

I just noticed I'm not running with the latest kernel.
This box was originally installed as Ubuntu 10.04, then upgraded to 10.10.
I just recently noticed that, even though kernel...
Ok, first, do:
df -k
to see what partition has all the space taken up.
Next, cd to that partition, then do:
du -sk *|sort -n
So, you need to see what is using that CPU, when that happens.
One way to do that is, when the problem occurs, open a Terminal, and type 'top'.
Top will show you the top CPU consuming...
Actually, the first applies to you, as Lucid Beta 2 is a pre-release version of Ubuntu.
As to determining if you have any third-party packages, have look at the various sources.list in...
For those of us on this side of the pond:

Well, for starters, I assume it's a high def TV?
What inputs are available on the TV? Component? VGA? DVI? HDMI?
What kind of video card is in your HTPC? What outputs does it have?
