Bug Description
I freshly downloaded Ubuntu desktop 10.10 (beta?) and installed it to my USB key from another Ubuntu.
I launched the new 10.10 from USB key in "test" (live) mode for the first time, and I wanted to install nVidia drivers in it. It failed everytime with the same a strange error popup window appearing just before the progress bar went 100% (I tried 3~4 times). At the end, the app. which was installing the driver hanged and I had to close it with 'Force Quit' applet.
However, after I killed the hanging window I tried to re-create the bug to take a screenshot of the error message, but I saw that my driver is installed instead. Well, I'am happy it is but the application is surely was behaving buggy and I was very surprised that it actually managed to install nVidia driver.
What's even more strange, when I launched the desktop properties via context menu for desktop "change wallpaper". And tried to turn on desktop effects (compiz) it prompted me to install nVidia driver again (but I saw that it is already installed just a minute ago!). I clicked okay and the application is swinging the progress bar and I'am waiting to see what will happen next.
A massage box shown with a message:
"Please run "Appearance/Desktop Effects" again after restarting the computer, when the new graphics driver is active."
So maybe it tried to install the nVidia driver again because it wasn't active yet? I don't know, I hope you know.
I'am going down for a restart now and see what will happen (I have a 4gb persistance file so my driver should be saved for live session)
I hope this information will be helpful :-) Thank you for your support!
