Since Quantal, Jockey disappeared and the driver management was merged in software-properties.
Before, we had a "Additional Drivers" entry in the control-center, which was kind of obvious.
No, to install a driver, one have to select "Software Sources" which is, IMHO, not logical at all.
Use case:
Yesterday I needed to install the broadcom WIFI driver on a laptop (Quantal, live-usb), but I had to search on the Internet (so from another computer) to find where the install UI has moved. It never crossed my mind that it could be in "Software Sources". |
