I'm not that fussed on the implementation details (move script to jockey
or make dependency stronger). I was just wondering what the "user
experience" here should be: should it be possible to remove nvidia-
common and install the upstream driver? I think it should.
I'm also happy to just bump jock
"That would mean that you wouldn't have a chance, ever, to try the

There is a command-line option that can be used to override the script
and proceed with the nvidia-installer. But as Alberto says above, if
someone has gotten to that point, they obviously know exactly what the
I guess the idea was to prevent users from installing the nvidia driver
from the Nvidia installer unless they know exactly why they are using
the installer vs our packages (or the ones from the x-updates PPA) and
therefore should know how to 1) override our script and 2) fix their

Another point is, if people uninstall nvidia-common, they won't be able
to install the packaged nvidia driver through jockey, as jockey needs
nvidia-common to do the detection for nvidia.

You can remove jockey just as well. But anyway, I don't mind much
moving it there, i
Martin, I guess what it boils down to is that I'm not as convinced as
you are that nvidia-common is finding its way onto everybody's systems.
I have been on IRC and observing forum posts going back to the Lucid
cycle, when the script was added, and there have been people every day
talking about how
Actually I don't understand the request here. jockey-common already
recommends nvidia-common, which means that nvidia-common is installed by
default. As far as I understand the bug, the script should be installed
by default, which is already the case. So why would it be better in
jockey-common?
