** Description changed: - Binary package hint: jockey-gtk + Description updated 4/22/2012 - If I activate or deactivate a restricted hardware module, with Synaptic - or another packet related software in the background, the message I get - is: + 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... - SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock + Sorry, the installation of this driver failed. + Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log - I think this message should be uniformed with other apt lock messages, - something like "Please close your packet manager before changing your - drivers setup" (something like that, but in good english... :-)) - - The issue is in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid - - The packet should be: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+package - /jockey-gtk - - Thanks! + 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.
