Public bug reported: I'm running 64-bit Jaunty, fully-patched. I just tried to install the nvidia driver (v. 180) after a fresh install, and the downloading and installing box hangs indefinitely at 0% progress. Clicking the cancel button does nothing. So I ran killall jockey-backend, then

I took another look at this and it appears that jockey wasn't really hanging, the ubuntu repositories were throttled and the downloads were progressing at a glacial pace (as observed by checking the file sizes in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial). While that is much better than simply

The bug from the above comment has been identified as a duplicate of bug 566095 in the upstream bug database (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=566095). This bug was fixed in version 2.24.4 of gnome-power-manager. I have tested 2.24.4 and can confirm it fixes the problem. -- backlight

I am also regularly encountering this bug, and wanted to second Neon Knight's point. Most of the time it simply causes a warning in the system logs, but occasionally (~5% of the time) it causes the entire graphical interface to hang indefinitely. Given that it causes a very common behavior
