Title:
  Jockey provided no feedback when trying to install a driver without an
  internet connection

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: jockey-gtk

  To reproduct this error:

  * Disconnect from the internet.
  * Run jockey-gtk. 
  * Select a previously disabled driver package (I chose Nvidia 180)
  * Click apply
  * Fill out the authentication
  * Watch as a screen flashes up, and nothing else happens. The user is none the wiser as to what has happened, and the only assumption is that the driver has installed.

  What should have happened:

  Either as the user has opened jockey-gtk or the user has authenticated
  and tried to download a driver, a popup should appear stating that the
  download is unavailable and the user should try to connect to the
  internet before trying again.
