Hi Kamus Sorry but I am running Ubuntu on a different machine, which does not have nvidia (I bought an intel-based laptop with ubuntu pre-installed). Would somebody else be able to comment on this matter, as I cannot.

Re: [Bug 291409] Re: nvidia driver install fails to proceed
Dunno... I checked the procedure I described to you several times. After uninstalling the app (jockey) and re-installing it again everything worked like charm. Whenever I tried to use jockey head-on after installing the OS (Ubuntu) I inadvertently reproduced the same buggy behavior: the app pretends it starts downloading smth and then hangs... The latter behavior is reproduced regardless of Ubuntu 8.10 type (32 or 64 bytes), and regardless of updates downloaded and installed after the OS installation. I mean updates or no updates jockey on my machine misbehaved ALWAYS, unless I ditched it without even trying and re-installed again...

Re: [Bug 291409] Re: nvidia driver install fails to proceed
this bug in essence is the inability to activate restricted drivers using jockey GUI app. the answer is yes, this is the case.

[Bug 291409] Re: nvidia driver install fails to proceed
I just had the same problem after upgrading to Intrepid Ibex, it was caused by not having the restricted repository in my sources.list and thus the necessary package not being installable. Adding the said repository corrected the problem. In any case jockey should not fail silently if it cannot install a package (there was no error message, neither graphical or in the console). Seems like a major issue since the nv driver doesn't works on my computer. -- nvidia driver install fails to proceed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291409 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 291409] Re: nvidia driver install fails to proceed
Oliver, Actually the jockey nVidia installer that is in the main repository now has already been fixed, and you can get it from there. It works, I checked a couple of times. Problem is, when you've just installed Ubuntu 8.10 it already contains a buggy jockey installer. So my workaround is as follows: - install Ubuntu 8.10. - go to Applications -- Add/Remove and uninstall (uncheck) the Hardware Drivers component. - reboot and install it again.

If you manage to reproduce the problem again, please follow these steps so that we can see what goes wrong: 1) close Jockey and type: sudo killall jockey-backend sudo /usr/share/jockey/jockey-backend --debug (keep it running in the background) 2) launch jockey-gtk (e.g. from another terminal) and try to install the driver so as to reproduce the problem. 3) close jockey-gtk and terminate the jockey-backend process 4) Copy the output into a new text file and post it as an attachment to this bug report.
