[Updated: 16 January 2013]
Implemented a minor change that might solve driver installation for ATI/Intel hybrid cards.
This is still untested because I don't have the hardware to test it on.
So, if you own a ATI/Intel hybrid card, please post back your results here.
I'm looking for testers:
- Any Linux Mint taste (it should work on any Debian or Ubuntu based distribution).
- Systems with Nvidia, ATI, Intel, Broadcom or multi-processor 32-bit CPU's.
- Other hardware that you would like to have supported by DDM.
You can download the .deb file here:
http://schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages/ddm_0.5.3_all.deb
DDM is still in development, so before you install, make sure you have made an image of your system you can revert to when things go not entirely the way you expected...
You can use CloneZilla (http://clonezilla.org) to create an image.
After installation, open up a terminal:
- Code: Select all
ddm -d
This will create a debug file in your home directory:
- Code: Select all
$HOME/ddm.log
When you want to post your findings in this thread, you can add the log file to your message (or link to pastebin, if you like). The information in this log helps me to debug the application.
If you're a coder, and you'd like to pitch in, you can check the source at GitHub:
https://github.com/linuxmint/device-driver-manager
You can look at the code at GitHub or fork the repository and create a new branch.
So you see: you don't need to be a Linux crack to help out!
Your help is very much appreciated!

(sorry, real life sometimes gets in the way) i'm reporting the issues with the broadcom drivers installation (i used this time the up5sr2 iso because of course i wanted to test the rest of shinny new stuff as well).

ddm and it wrote this in the logs (but only after being terminated)
