Hi
I keep getting error messages about nvidia. And I keep getting your
updates.
Maybe I missed something, but I don't see what I do to fix the problem.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Rabin

Hello lecole, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nvidia-prime into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/0.5~hybrid0.0.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I really appreciate the work you've done on this bug.
However, I'm still new to Ubuntu and I don't know how to install this
working update.
Thanks

Your instructions were faulty. I'm using 13.10 and had to find it on my
own. We'll see if it works now.

I have found the problem.
Now is instaling fine. The problem is in post install configurations that are using decimal values in printf that came from hexadecimal.
My patch is in attachment.
