jockey fails to activate driver

[Mark Raymond]

I am using Kubuntu 13.10 Beta 2 64-bit. I have an Nvidia graphics card.

I first tried to install the proprietary drivers through Additional Drivers (jockey-kde). I selected the driver, and clicked Activate. The Activate button became disabled, and nothing further happened, and the driver was not activated. I was still able to quit Additional Drivers by pressing Close.

I then tried using jockey-text at the terminal. The command I used was:

sudo jockey-text -e kmod:nvidia_319

The output was:

ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for AppIndicator3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/jockey-text", line 128, in <module>
    sys.exit(u.run())

    class MyFetchProgress(apt.FetchProgress):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FetchProgress'

The expected outcome was that the driver would be activated.

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

This is now working for me in the final release of Kubuntu 13.10. Thanks!

Same for me, except the progress bar doesn't move as it's downloading or installing, but it does work - so I am happy.
