Comment 15 for bug 350776

I just perused through the installation forums for possible help and noticed that one guy didn't get the above error when he inserted the installation CD prior to trying to activate the driver. I tried that and it worked! The Driver screen let me activate the NVidia driver.

Hope this helps others as a workaround. Definitely a bug though - in 8.10 I never had to insert a disk! (Actually, in 8.10 I don't recall it going out on the internet to retrieve the list of restricted drivers either - I guess it was all done as part of the initial installation then?)
