I thought this was good so I made it sticky. It may help on some problems in Cassandra

Just gave this a try and it seems to have worked. :)

I run Beryl under XGL with the ATI fglrx driver, and I actually had to downgrade the stable version of Beryl that is included with Cassandra from 2.1 to 2.0 because version 2.1 doesn't support XGL. I didn't know if the latest SVN builds had XGL support or not, but I gave it a try and so far it is running well.

I haven't checked out any of the new eye candy yet, but at least the update manager isn't nagging me to update Beryl any longer.

Thanks for the script. I'm sure it saved me a whole lot of trouble and headaches.

Aloha, Tim

Okay, trying this script again, and I noticed some errors during execution. I have hilighted the errors below. Beryl does seemed to be updated, but I'm wondering if everything is installing correctly since these errors have happened.

Any info about these errors and a fix to the above script that will allow it to run without errors would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

Note that there is an error on this line:

Code: Select all

KEY=81836EBF; gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $KEY && gpg --export --armor $KEY | sudo apt-key add -x
That "x" at the end should not be there.

Code: Select all

KEY=81836EBF; gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $KEY && gpg --export --armor $KEY | sudo apt-key add -
Also, if you are going to add more packages then you should append to the sources.list file rather than replace it (otherwise you will run into dependancy problems). So change these lines:

Code: Select all

## move orginal repository list out of harms way (hopefully)
mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/origsourcest.list

## Create the temporary list sources for the repositories add bin
echo "deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy" > /etc/apt/sources.list
to:

Code: Select all

## backup original repository list
cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/origsourcest.list

## add this to the sources.list
echo "deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Aloha, Tim
