Public bug reported:
The Kubuntu installation process offers this check-box on the second
screen:
"Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash,
MP3 and other media" box while installing Kubuntu as another form of
manual installation."
If you check that box, your video drivers are handled for you by a
collaboration between Ubuntu and NVIDIA.
The "Additional Drivers" tab in Software Sources then displays these messages
when you open it:
* "This device is using a manually-installed driver."
* "Continue using a manually installed driver"
* "No proprietary drivers are in use."
It wasn't obvious to me that "manually-installed" included those of us
who checked the little check-box during the installation of the
operating system to have our video drivers automatically installed and
managed by Ubuntu and NVIDIA.
I would like to suggest that the first two messages in the "Additional Drivers"
tab get changed to something like this to make it obvious that they include us:
* "This device is using a manually-installed or third-party driver."
* "Continue using a manually-installed or third-party driver"
Or if you'd like to word it differently:
* "This device is using a manually-installed or automatically-installed
driver."
* "Continue using a manually-installed or automatically-installed
driver"
** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Attachment added: "The two places in which the text appears in the
"Additional "Drivers" tab are marked here with arrows."
