Title:
  When trying to switch between versions of the nvidia driver I get the
  error message "You are nto authorized to perform this action" instead
  of being prompted for a password.

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was trying to switch between two different versions of the nVidia
  drivers and I had no problems doing so with synaptic.

  Additionally this error is not system modal so it can popunder the
  "Additional Drivers" window and causes to appear non-responsive.
