Public bug reported: I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 8.10 (32-bit desktop CD) on my laptop. Hardware drivers manager told me that maybe I should use some proprietary drivers. It gave me 2 possible drivers. I selected the recommend one and hit Enable driver -button. Something flashed quickly on the screen. But then nothing seemed to have happened and there was no change on the hardware drivers manager dialog.
I tried hitting Enable driver again. No good, nothing happened. I was offline during this (and the whole installation, never connected). Maybe it failed to get the driver? In any case there should be some clear message for the user!!! Nothing just happened, not quite professional :( ** Affects: jockey (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Hardware manager fails to operate while offline https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
