It has a gefarce 7800 gt card. parts of the screen look terrible right now, eg: left panel icons are all solid blue?! Anyway, I went to system settings> additional drivers, when i clicked on the icon a window popped up then gone instantly, a few seconds later an error popps up for jockey. It wouldn't show any details as it just sat there with the loading icon. I tried running it from terminal, dis wat i got: edit@edit-desktop:~$ jockey-text -l Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/jockey-text", line 128, in <module> sys.exit(u.run()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 421, in run self.list() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 476, in list for h_id in self.backend().available(self.argv_options.mode): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 134, in backend timeout=600) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 790, in _call_progress_dialog return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 145, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.IOError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in _message_cb retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 173, in detect self.hardware = detection.get_hardware() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/detection.py", line 905, in get_hardware result = _get_modaliases() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/detection.py", line 659, in _get_modaliases modalias = open(os.path.join(path, 'modalias')).read().strip() IOError: [Errno 19] No such device edit@edit-desktop:~$ jockey-text -c Cannot connect to backend, is it busy? org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.IOError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in _message_cb retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 173, in detect self.hardware = detection.get_hardware() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/detection.py", line 905, in get_hardware result = _get_modaliases() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/detection.py", line 659, in _get_modaliases modalias = open(os.path.join(path, 'modalias')).read().strip() IOError: [Errno 19] No such device edit@edit-desktop:~$ jockey-text -u Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/jockey-text", line 128, in <module> sys.exit(u.run()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 418, in run self.backend().update_driverdb() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 134, in backend timeout=600) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 790, in _call_progress_dialog return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 145, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.IOError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/service.py", line 707, in _message_cb retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 173, in detect self.hardware = detection.get_hardware() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/detection.py", line 905, in get_hardware result = _get_modaliases() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jockey/detection.py", line 659, in _get_modaliases modalias = open(os.path.join(path, 'modalias')).read().strip() IOError: [Errno 19] No such device edit@edit-desktop:~$ So this i what ive tried so far: -rebooted>no change -checked for updates via updater> ok -uninstalled jockey-gtk via software center>ok -rebooted -reinstalled jockey-gtk>ok -rebooted -tried using jockey in gui> same problem -ditto in terminal> ditto result please excuse my ignorance in bug reporting, this is my first one ever.
