I found the answer to this bug! I don't know what the fix is though The reason the hardware drivers manager wasn't working was because I was running the wrong kernel -- 2.6.22-14-generic instead of 2.6.22-16-generic. My computer wasn't upgrading properly: even though it claimed to be up to date, it didn't have the latest kernel installed, but it had the -17 kernel installed from the proposed repos. Anyway, my menu.lst was screwed up by my custom edits where I wasn't supposed to edit, which seems to have prevented it from being updated either.
Anyway after I got synaptic and grub straightened out, as soon as I was booted into the -16 kernel, the hardware drivers manager worked like a charm. So I don't know what you'll be doing with this bug. -- hardy upgrade breaks video settings, can't get them back https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232043 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
