Jockey should provide a way to run noninteractively without dbus

[Evan]

In order to enable the nvidia driver in the target system chroot during installation, it would be best if we had a way of calling jockey with incurring dbus as well.

From Martin:
(16:08:29) pitti: so, I think it might be best if I'd fix jockey.ui backend() to just return a locak Backend object instead of a D-BUS proxy when running as root

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Fixed in trunk. I added a --no-dbus UI option

  --no-dbus Do not use D-BUS for communicating with the backend. Needs root privileges.

.. which you can use like this:

  sudo jockey-text --no-dbus -e kmod:wl

  Caveats:
   - This needs root privileges.
   - This cannot provide progress feedback, i. e. it is mostly appropriate for jockey-text.

This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.9-0ubuntu3

---------------
jockey (0.9-0ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Move nvidia-common from Recommends: to Depends:
    (LP: #704597)
  * jockey/oslib.py, install_packages(): Fix crash with third-party
    repositories that do not have a trusted origin. (LP: #712685)
  * Merge fixes from trunk:
    - Add --no-dbus UI option. This will use a local Backend instance
      instead of communicating with the D-BUS backend interface. This is
      suitable for installers where jockey needs to run in a chroot.
      (LP: #723223)
    - ui.py: Drop __fix_stdouterr(), we are using gettext in unicode
      mode, and this leads to crashes with --help.
    - ui.py: Show translated driver names with --list
