Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: jockey-gtk
I installed Intrepid Ibex Alpha 6 (AMD64) on my machine which has a Asus
M3N78-EMH HDMI motherboard, with nVidia 8200 chipset on it. In the
Restricted Hardware Notification, it listed 2 drivers, NVIDIA
accelerated graphics driver (version 173) and (version 177
[recommended]) ones. When I chose on the latter and clicked on "Install
and turn on", I was prompted for password, as I wasn't root. When I gave
it, a untitled window came up, with the text, "Downloading and
installing driver..." and it disappeared in a blink. This happened every
other time, with my cd-rom driver being empty.
When I tried the same with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Alpha 6's disc inserted,
the drive get accessed for a long time, with no change in the untitled
window, after a long time (15 mins), Apport came up telling that
jockey-gtk has crashed, when I asked it to generate a report, it gave me
a list of packages and said they are outdated and hence it cannot
generate a report, but still the Hardware Drivers and the Untitled
window were visible, and were responding to right clicks but with no
change in the % of installation.
