sgfxi Failure
I'm a noob at this stuff I admit but a few days ago I installed these scripts and ran sgfxi on a Solydxk system and everything ran fine. I'm on the same laptop with a Debian install (Jessie) and sgfxi has messed up. At the end of the install it gave me an Error 1 and the log it has this:

I have done a search but don't know anything about libc files or which ones to install. Right now my screen looks awful and so I need some help to either get sgfxi to install the driver properly or revert to how it was before. Thanks! Back to top |

This looks like an actual bug in sgfxi, it checked the kernel headers package, found the install candidate, but did not install it. Let me see if I can figure out what's going on here.
the kernel image/headers versions are current in testing/jesse so it can't be an out of date kernel image. Back to top |

This bug should now be fixed, debian did a subtle change in their syntax for apt-cache policy that exposed an error I had let slip in to sgfxi (using gawk syntax in awk, which doesn't of course work).
Just run sgfxi again and the install should proceed as expected. "this bug has been present a long time, who knows how many issues were caused by it, thanks for the bug report. Back to top |

Thanks techAdmin. I just ran the script again and everything ran smoothly. Cheers!
