The same error here on Natty amd64.

I forgot to copy it:

I was unable to reproduce this problem with jockey-gtk 0.8-0ubuntu3 on Natty. Could you please update and check if you are still experiencing this problem?

I have installed the latest upgrade but the problem persist. Nvidia-current is installed and works fine but

I cannot open Jockey-gtk

Bug #706217 seems to have the same problem.

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

Thanks for taking your time to provide the requested information.
I am still not able to reproduce it here, but then again I don't have any proprietary drivers installed. I noticed the report you linked to also lists nvidia under NonfreeKernelModules, perhaps there's a connection there?
