[Hardy 8.04 alpha-2 ubiquity] This bug seems to be a regression bug in the installer. (Launchpad says that ubiquity bugs are not tracked in Launchpad, so I wasn't able to link this to ubiquity. Please re- classify.) I manually installed restricted-manager for Gnome using Synaptic. Now "Restricted Drivers Manager" is in the System menu and it works. Installer should install restricted-manager when it discovers that the video adapter is one that has a restricted driver available for 3D acceleration to be able to use desktop effects. (My test computer has an nVidia AGP adapter.) I think it used to do that by default in 7.10 installation, but in 8.04 alpha-1 and alpha-2, it does not. A novice user will not know what to do to enable desktop effects because when one tries to do it from System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual_Effects, it fails without an explanation of how to fix it.
