Upgrade to Jaunty disables Restricted drivers, NVIDIA, ATI. X86-64

Hi, this is a little edit to the grub boot file as it appears that the 64bit version does not do it automatically, disabling restricted drivers amongst other things after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty X86-64, whatever flavour of window manager you use.

First in a terminal:

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.mybak

This will backup the current file in case it needs to be restored.
Then to open the file in an editor:

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Then change the relevant entries to reflect the upgraded system, similar to what I have done below. Please remember that the UUID's are unique and should not need to be changed in your own file, just past in the relevant information regarding the version and kernel.

## ## End Default Options ##

title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=e300c18a-7bcc-416b-ab16-00d3585e2ccb ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic

title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (recovery mode)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=e300c18a-7bcc-416b-ab16-00d3585e2ccb ro  single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic

title Ubuntu 9.04, memtest86+
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

Restart once you have done this and you should be able to boot into the new kernel and enable the restricted drivers.

Crossover Menu disappears in KDE

Hi,

I have had this problem several times and do not know how to prevent it but can tell you how to rebuild the crossover menu using the menu editor in KDE because the icons have disappeared after an upgrade etc.

Right hand click on the KDE menu icon and select "menu editor".

If you have lost the main Crossover icon you will have to make sure that no menus are selected and then click on "new item", call it "Crossover" or whatever you like and save.

Now it is time to add sub menus.

1. Click on the new Crossover menu item you just added and select add again. Call this one "Configuration", save it and then click on it.

2. In the command field type, copy, or browse to:
/home/your_user_name/cxoffice/bin/cxsetup

3. Click on the icon and another window opens. Select "other icons" then click "browse". Navigate to "/home/cxoffice/share/icons/" select "crossover.xpm", then save.

First item restored/created.

If you follow the above three steps and use the settings below you should have a full, working, Crossover Office menu in KDE, though I would imagine the same steps would work for other window managers.

Next item is "Documentation"
Path is: /home/your_user_name/cxoffice/doc/en/index.html
Icon is: "/home/cxoffice/share/icons/" select "cxdoc.xpm"

Next item is "Install Windows Software"
Path is: /home/your_user_name/cxoffice/bin/cxinstallwizard
Icon is: "/home/cxoffice/share/icons/" select "crossover.xpm"

Next item is: "Run a Windows Command"
Path is: /home/your_user_name/cxoffice/bin/cxrun
Icon is: "/home/cxoffice/share/icons/" select "cxrun.xpm"

Next item is: "Terminate Windows Applications"
Path is: /home/your_user_name/cxoffice/bin/cxreset
Icon is: "/home/cxoffice/share/icons/" select "cxreset.xpm"

Next item is: "Uninstall"
Path is: /home/your_user_name/cxoffice/bin/cxuninstall
Icon is: "/home/cxoffice/share/icons/" select "cxuninstall.xpm"

Please note that I have only had this problem in (K)Ubuntu so the fix has only been tested in it.

Good luck and hope it is of some help to somebody.
