I guess the idea was to prevent users from installing the nvidia driver from the Nvidia installer unless they know exactly why they are using the installer vs our packages (or the ones from the x-updates PPA) and therefore should know how to 1) override our script and 2) fix their system is something goes wrong.
A reason for having the script in Jockey (even though I admit it's not a strong argument), is the fact that some users tend to remove nvidia- common either because they think it is some sort of nvidia driver that doesn't work or because it gets caught when doing something like "apt- get remove nvidia-*". Of course I'm open to better solutions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704597 Title: Please move pre-install script to jockey-common -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
