Bug Description
Using jockey-gtk 0.5~alpha1-
After upgrading from hardy to intrepid, the nvidia drivers were disabled.
Enabling them via jockey's GTK interface did nothing.
Enabling via console also did nothing, and did not print any errors:
$ jockey-gtk -l
xorg:nvidia-71 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 71) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
xorg:nvidia-96 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
$ jockey-gtk -e xorg:nvidia-96
[enter password]
$ jockey-gtk -l
xorg:nvidia-71 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 71) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
xorg:nvidia-96 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
Some more information which may be relevant:
This file does not exist: /etc/modprobe.
Please do this for debugging:
sudo killall jockey-backend jockey/ jockey- backend -l /tmp/jockey- backend. log
sudo /usr/share/
and on another terminal:
jockey-gtk -e xorg:nvidia-96
then please go back to the first one, press Control-C, and attach /tmp/jockey- backend. log. Thanks!
