[intrepid beta] Jockey-gtk doesn't install drivers, it does nothing

I forgot, here's my lspci for my graphic card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2)
 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
 Memory at f6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
 Memory at c0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
 Memory at f5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
 Expansion ROM at f7ce0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
 Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0
 Kernel modules: nvidiafb

After update and reboot, i tried again and it downloaded fine and installed. I'll reboot and see if this is installed properly.

I had to reboot twice, the first time it got stuck at loading.
Now it's working, and I could turn on the video effects.

Good stuff. but the weird thing is jockey-* didn't get updated... though xorg has been, so maybe xorg was the problem.

What is the problem that you are having? in the last comment you said it works.

here is a screen shot of my jockey-gtk

If you manage to reproduce the problem again, please follow these steps so that we can see what goes wrong:

1) close Jockey and type:
sudo killall jockey-backend
sudo /usr/share/jockey/jockey-backend --debug

(keep it running in the background)

2) launch jockey-gtk (e.g. from another terminal) and try to install the driver so as to reproduce the problem.

3) close jockey-gtk and terminate the jockey-backend process

4) attach Jockey's log which you will find in /tmp

hello im having a problem like that. I have a nvidia mx 420 and im trying to install the 96* ones, i launch jockey and it shows me 2 proprietary drivers which are not installed and i try to activate and it downloads something and nothing happens.

What could it be?

Thanks

Marco: (currently) driver -96 and -71 don't work in Intrepid. See this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/251107

Yeah this is working now, after installation from Desktop CD Intrepid beta, it didn't work, and this morning after some updates from the update-manager, it finally worked.

Can't reproduce, i tried with the live-cd because the versions are 0.5~beta1-0ubuntu1. but the installation worked.

How do i close the bug?

I upgrade to intrepid. My system is full upgrade but i have this problem in NVIDIA 8600 GT.

I attached the output from jockey-backend

Please fix this. thanks

makiolo: maybe the servers are down:
2008-11-02 13:46:18,170 DEBUG: Package nvidia-glx-177 does not exist, aborting

try again later

ok sorry

this fix, i dont had activated repository restricted

I think what jockey have say to the user "please activate restricted repository"

Sorry my english

P.D: Alberto creator of envy ? goooooood work!

I don't think jockey needs to point that out. restricted is enabled by default, unless you explicitly disable it on installation ("Free software only"); and in that case, jockey shouldn't really second-guess you IMHO.

My one does this:
