[Bug 876499] Re: Incorrect Nvidia driver installed by checking 3rd party box

 

In digging through ubiquity, it looks like ubiquity hands off control to
jockey via dbus, and it seems jockey runs into trouble.  In the log it
seems jockey is unable to find (or create?) it's cache, and so I wonder
if that may be what's steering it off the cliff.

** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) => jockey (Ubuntu Precise)
