@ Martin Pitt #23
Is your proposed fix to nvidia-common supposed to fix jockey's handling
of installing proprietary AMD drivers (fglrx)? That seems rather
counter-intuitive.
I have a fresh AMD64 installation of Oneiric, plus all updates (but no
-proposed). Jockey fails with the message "sorry installation of this
driver failed" "please have a look at the log file for details:
/var/log/jockey.log". I have no nVidia hardware.
The jockey log is somewhat opaque. It does include a python traceback in
nVidia code:
2011-12-28 16:29:59,976 DEBUG: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release
updates) availability undetermined, adding to pool
