d99: as I noted in comment #3, this is an issue on precise/12.04, which
is supported until 2015 (or maybe 2017?).

Title:
Jockey fails silently if it can't get dpkg lock
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Description updated 4/22/2012
Jockey depends on being able to get a dpkg lock, and if another GUI
like Synaptic is running at the same time, this will fail in an
invisible script running hidden behind the gui, and tell you...
Sorry, the installation of this driver failed.
Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
What should happen instead - Jockey should pause and interactively
tell you to shut down Synaptic (or whatever package manager has the
lock) in order to be able to proceed further. Perhaps easier, it
should check on this before beginning the process.
