2008-08-16 04:22:43 Saivann Carignan jockey: statusexplanation Thank you very much, this bug is now fixed. However, after trying it, another important bug can be reproduced : If you enable nvidia drivers from the LiveCD session and then install ubuntu, your freshly installed intrepid alpha 4 will fall into X failsafe mode on the first boot. This seems to be due to partially persistence of the LiveCD environment. I filed this problem in bug 258486 . If a ubuntu developer can take a look at it, this might not necessary be jockeys fault.
