Title:
Jockey backend crashed when cancelling activating a proprietary driver
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I'm using an integreted video card and I have another better NVIDIA
video card. I tried to plug the monitor into the NVIDIA card but no
video signal (blank screen) when booting. Then I plug the monitor
back.
Since I couldn't find the way to switch video signal output to the
NVIDIA card in BIOS setting (AMI motherboard), I tried to activate a
proprietary NVIDIA card driver using "Hardware Drivers" in Ubuntu.
After clicking 'Activate', a password dialog showed up. Since I'm not
sure what will happen (like no display after restart) so I changed my
mind and clicked 'Cancel'. Then an error dialog was shown:
Sorry, the Jockey backend crashed. Please file a bug at:
ubuntu-bug jockey-common
Trying to recover by restarting backend.
So here comes the bug report. It's also highly appreciated if anyone
knows how to change video cards.
