Tried upgrading online. Script hangs at downloading db's


Left is sit for almost 2 hours
/tmp/linhes_upgrade and /tmp/upgrade.fifo were still at 0

Any suggestions?

After ensuring that the repos was in fact up to date, I removed the check statement from the script. Everything completed at that point.

Tried to watch tv and play back but in both cases I was getting an error


After seeing To Many Secrets post "7.3 broke VDPAU" I changed the mode to slim, and sure enough it worked.
So something is breaking VDPAU.

Downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.59.run from Nvidia's website installed it , VDPAU now works.

I don't know what the BEST fix is but I would suggest that you back-rev to a diferent nVidia release. I had to do the same - didn't dig in to the root problem - just wanted it up and running. See Too Many Secrets post.

I checked with Too Many Secrets and he said he went with - NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.59.run

as tscholl mentioned, I've been using the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.59.run drivers without issue. I've got the Sparkle GeForce 5200 GS card and using the "VDPAU Slim" video setup OOTB. Looks real nice and plays everything I'm throwing at it.
