Ubuntu Updates

Are you guys using nvidia cards? Blame nvidia not ubuntu for crappy proprietary drivers then

NVIDIA is infamous for having poor linux support.

Why is it tough for them to get proper support for desktop versions with GUI.
I mean they already have drivers and they seem to work really well for CUDA computation based tasks on Ubuntu servers.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS arrives | Ubuntu

A friend of mine runs a Ubuntu mirror in India in his network(AS135817). Folks using Ubuntu might want to use it for lower latency. Here is the link for the CD/DVD mirror.

If you want to use the mirror in sources.list, here is the link

I would suggest not to change the mirror as the official india mirror (in.archive.ubuntu one) is now peered with extreme ix.

Most other mirrors slowly start getting out of date once a few months/years go by.

@swapneelp The friend of yours has his own AS ?

@achaudhary997 in.archive.ubuntu.com resolves to AS135817.

EDIT: F my bad. Should have looked more carefully.

Just couple of years back everyone was saying AMD doesn't update its Linux drivers and now NVIDIA?

heh. my problem was also probably due to nvidia because that machine had a geforce card. i still do not understand why a problem with display driver would disable the login button on the boot screen.
