What has Jockey been replaced with in 14.04?

22

Just tried to run jockey-text on my test server and found that it's not installed. Looked for the jockey-common package and found nothing. Even did a package search and there's no release for Trusty.

I feel like I've missed an important bit of news but what manages the "additional drivers" side of things in 14.04? Has Jockey been replaced or just renamed?

And this not only occur with jockey-gtk. I have same problem with synergy(I did not tried with other software). Is it known problem or am I only one? How do I fix it?

Cannot install Nvidia drivers

8

I have 12.04 running on Intel dual core with Nvidia 8400 GS. I had installed the post-relase updates for Nvidia, but encountered some problems, so removed [deactivated] them through "Aditional drivers".

After restarting, when I went to install the recommended version current drivers through "Additional drivers", I get the following error:

Sorry, installation of this driver failed.

Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log

Notification for additional drivers

2

Today I installed Ubuntu 11.10 in my HP laptop well everything goes well installation and updates.

I then got a notification on the taskbar for additional drivers: No propritery drivers are in use on this system.

What I read on the tool that opens after clicking the message is:

Proprietry driver do not have public source code that ubuntu developer are free to modify security updates and correction depend solely on the respnsiveness of the manufacture ubuntu cannot fix or improve these drivers.

ATI/AMD proprietry FGLRX graphic driver( post release update) 2.ATI/AMD proprietry FGLRX graphic driver

ATI/AMD propreitry FGLRX graphics driver(post release update)

tested by ubuntu developers

License propreitry

3D accelerated propreitry graphic drivers for ATI cards.

This driver is required to fully utilise the 3D potential of some ATI graphic and as well as provide 2D accelerate newer card.

Do I need to active this driver in order to accomplish the complete installation?

Is there a fix for Jockey failing to download package indexes?

2

I'm running the latest version of the proprietary nVidia driver, and I haven't had any problems enabling Compiz effects until a few days ago after tweaking my theming. When I try to enable effects from the Appearance panel, I get this popup window:

alt text

And, after working for a few seconds it turns to this:

alt text

Launching Jockey from the command line or application menu, it doesn't recognize my proprietary drivers nor will it complete the package index download successfully. Output of jockey.log:
