I believe the problem is that nothing ensures that the desktop components which select and install software have access to a GUI debconf frontend.
I think the proper solution is for each of the frontends to aptdaemon to depend/recommend a suitable debconf frontend component (libgtk2-perl, libqtgui4-perl/libqtcore4-perl). For 17.04, this includes at least gnome-software and software- properties-gtk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1679784 Title: Changing from Xorg video driver to NVIDIA driver using Software & Updates does not display debconf prompt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim-signed/+bug/1679784/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
