Public bug reported:

I freshly downloaded Ubuntu desktop 10.10 (beta?) and installed it to my
USB key from another Ubuntu.

I launched the new 10.10 from USB key in "test" (live) mode for the
first time, and I wanted to install nVidia drivers in it. It failed
everytime with the same a strange error popup window appearing just
before the progress bar went 100% (I tried 3~4 times). At the end, the
app. which was installing the driver hanged and I had to close it with
'Force Quit' applet.

However, after I killed the hanging window I tried to re-create the bug
to take a screenshot of the error message, but I saw that my driver is
installed instead. Well, I'am happy it is but the application is surely
was behaving buggy and I was very surprised that it actually managed to
install nVidia driver.

What's even more strange, when I launched the desktop properties via
context menu for desktop "change wallpaper". And tried to turn on
desktop effects (compiz) it prompted me to install nVidia driver again
(but I saw that it is already installed just a minute ago!). I clicked
okay and the application is swinging the progress bar and I'am waiting
to see what will happen next.

A massage box shown with a message:
 "Please run "Appearance/Desktop Effects" again after restarting the computer, when the new graphics driver is active."
So maybe it tried to install the nVidia driver again because it wasn't active yet? I don't know, I hope you know.

I'am going down for a restart now and see what will happen (I have a 4gb
persistance file so my driver should be saved for live session)

I hope this information will be helpful :-) Thank you for your support!
