Public bug reported:
I installed Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) using the 'free software only'
option which means no 'restricted' or 'multiverse' repositories.
However, these repositories are required to download my nVidia drivers
(which I know from previous experience).
When I go to "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers" (e.g. jockey)
and select to install "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177)
[Recommended]" for my nVidia GeForce 6800, I receive no error (or
confirmation) that the driver either installed or failed to install.
Once I enabled 'restricted' and 'multiverse' repositories, jockey
installed my nvidia drivers perfectly.
There needs to be an error that those repositories are required for
drivers of this nature, else no one will know how to enable them!
** Affects: jockey (Ubuntu)

Jockey has no error message stating that 'multiverse' and 'restricted' repos
need to be enabled
