Comment 3 for bug 704014

This may be related: When I try to report a bug in compiz (with “ubuntu-bug”), I get a dialog claiming that it appears I may have installed nVidia drivers manually, and asking if I have uninstalled them.

I don’t remember for certain, it is possible I may have tried a manual driver install a long time ago, but I’m pretty sure I got rid of them. I don’t know how to make sure, though, i.e. I’ve no idea what triggers that dialog.

There was an nvidia-installer.log file in /var/log which I take to be a leftover from my having tried to install a driver. I downloaded the same version of the driver as that reported in the log file from the nVidia web site, and it claims no driver is installed (e.g., if I tell it to uninstall itself). I removed the log file but I still get this bug.
