Public bug reported: I recently upgraded my nvidia driver and after rebooting, checked jockey (additional drivers) to see if the new driver was installed. It said it was activated, but not in use. This was an error as it was clearly in use. I then discovered that jockey has been superseded by software- properties-gtk. This is the gui that should be used for the old additional drivers function. When running software-properties-gtk, the dialog that opens does not have the last tab on the right that should show the additional drivers.
Release: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 64 bit Version software-properties-gtk: Installed: 0.82.7.6 What is expected: software-properties-gtk should have a tab for updating video drivers. What happened: The tab is missing ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: software-properties-gtk 0.82.7.6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-56.86-generic 3.2.51 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-56-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.6 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Nov 16 20:25:41 2013 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: software-properties UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1251940 Title: software-properties-gtk does not have drivers tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1251940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
