Restricted drivers manager pops up before a apt-get update is done

[Nicklas Svanteson]

New install from daily build 25-Sep-2007.

On a new install the restricted drivers manager pops up before a apt-get update is done.
It results in the following error message when trying to enable the driver:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The software source for the package

nvidia-glx-new

is not enabled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The error message is correct but it should not behave this way. Confusing for beginners.

Thanks,

Nicklas Svanteson

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.

Yes, I agree, it's not a bug.

I have posted a message in Ubuntu-devel-discuss.
