Hello all, thanks to Didier, the replacement user interface for handling third-party drivers [1] such as NVidia landed today [2].
This provides a much nicer GUI, and the underlying ubuntu-drivers-common is a _lot_ simpler and more robust than Jockey. Ubiquity has used the "ubuntu-drivers" command line tool instead of Jockey for some time now for automatically installing the Broadcom wifi or NVidia driver when you check the "proprietary stuff" checkbox. There are certainly still warts in the implementation, such as notifications or the control-center description, though. Please let us know by filing bugs against ubuntu-drivers-common if your hardware/drivers are not detected correctly, or software-properties if the GUI is not working properly. Thanks, Martin [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareAndUpdatesSettings#drivers [2] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/0.89 -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
