Have logged out/in several times, also made a cold boot & reconfigure the system, but still get a crash either with System Settings or with a terminal.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Have purgeg then reinstalled : jockey* nvidia-current, then log out/in, and finally got a popup saying that a graphic driver was available.
Its also possible to run jockey now from System Settings without getting a crash, but it is very slow for opening its screen (takes 3 4 seconds). So its better than a crash but something seems to be incorrect with python

[dino99 (9d9)]

From a terminal, still get:

oem@oem-desktop:~$ sudo jockey-gtk

Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

[dino99 (9d9)]

Only gksu jockey-gtk does not warns

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Feedback as now Precise have a newer jockey-gtk 0.9.7-0ubuntu5

oem@oem-desktop:~$ sudo jockey-gtk
[sudo] password for oem:

(jockey-gtk:15934): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

only that error, then the jocket dialog box open as it have to.

[Samuel Leathwick (s-leathwick)]

I am experiencing the same error. Unfortunately the fix above didn't work for me. I purged and re-installed jockey*, but not nvidia-current, as that only exists as a virtual package for me (perhaps because I am a PPC user). But no luck there.

Still haven't been able to get jockey to run, leaving the drivers I need out of reach, grr.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Actual terminal output on Quantal i386:

oem@dub:~$ sudo jockey-gtk

(jockey-gtk:29848): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

(jockey-gtk:29848): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

That's it, no crash now.

[dino99 (9d9)]

but still a borked entries list :
 get several unneeded grayed entries,
and some others replicated multiple times, like nvidia-vdpau
and some others outdated and non installed packages, like nvidia-96

its very strange that nvidia-96 is listed on a non compatible hardware, when the compatible one is installed & activated (nvidia-current aka 302.17

[dino99 (9d9)]

Jockey has been superseded by software-properties, which now handles
third-party driver configuration.
