I think we have two different bugs discussed here. The original problem
of immediate silent failure occurs on a stock intrepid desktop CD with
an nVidia quadro board with a recommended nvidia-177 driver (nothing to
do with the legacy driver issue from bug 288662). After using update
manager to do a check for updates (but not installing any of them)
jockey-gtk -e xorg:nvidia-177 runs for about 10 seconds then returns the
following dbus error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/jockey-gtk", line 377, in <module>

nwad...@nwadmin-laptop:~$ jockey-gtk -l
xorg:nvidia-173 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)
(Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)
kmod:wl - Broadcom STA wireless driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use)
xorg:nvidia-177 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177)
(Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use)
I had jockey-backend running in a separate window as suggested above and
about 30 seconds after jockey-gtk crashed the backend kicked to life and
apparently installed the driver successfully.
It seems to me that the silent failure is related to a
repository/package problem on the CD. The dbus failure might be a
download timeout.
