    If you are having problems with nvidia drivers and the new kernel RC then fooman has the answer.
    v3.7-rc2-raring


    Re: Kernel 3.7-rc1
    lost the nvidia drivers when i first booted up (GTX480), no top panel or unity....had to right-click on desktop to open terminal. from there i opened firefox and got the command to install the x-edgers PPA:
    Code:
         sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
    ran that, then opened synaptic from the terminal (sudo synaptic), updated the repos, let it install all updates plus the edgers nvidia-current (vers. 310.14). rebooted and all is well:

    Code:
    jackel@jackel-GA-990FXA-UD5:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.10" jackel@jackel-GA-990FXA-UD5:~$ uname -r 3.7.0-030700rc2-generic
    ...working great!!

    Anyone having problems changing their hostnames or want to rename them (if you did not get a chance to do so during install) then here is an excellent link to achieve that.

    If you download a document file (or any other file for that matter) and conventional ways of searching for that file do not work then you can use the gnome-terminal and enter the code:



    dpkg -S name_of_downloaded_or_installed_file_here


    This will give you the path and directory name as to where the file is.
    For example, if you are searching for the mir-doc files - here are the results
    of that code:

    Code:
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/inherit_graph_89.png
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/inherit_graph_116.map
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/buffer__initializer_8h__dep__incl.map
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/classmir_1_1client_1_1_null_logger__inherit__graph.map
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/classmir_1_1client_1_1_native_client_platform_factory__inherit__graph.map
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/classmir_1_1client_1_1_mir_binder_rpc_channel__inherit__graph.png
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/surfaces_2surface_8h__incl.map
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/android__client__buffer_8h__dep__incl.png
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/mir__binder__rpc__channel_8h__incl.md5
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/registration__order__focus__sequence_8h__dep__incl.png
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/size_8h__incl.map
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/inherit_graph_104.md5
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/search/all_79.html
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/mir__basic__rpc__channel_8h__incl.png
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/classmir_1_1client_1_1_client_context__inherit__graph.md5
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/classmir_1_1surfaces_1_1_graphic_region.html
    mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/structmir_1_1shell_1_1_surface_creation_parameters-members.html
    etc...

    Shouldn't the command look like this?


    Code:
    sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ventrical && sudo aticonfig --initial

    I wonder why this thread is under Ubuntu +1, and not in Tutorials & Tips. The commands mentioned here so far are not raring-specific, are they?

    They aren't specific to any +1 version, but we seem to get quite a few new users that have no idea how to solve a problem via the command line, so the thread will stay where it is, to help them on their way to fixing a broken installation.
