Bug Description

In Hardy Alpha 5 x86_64, running from LiveCD, the "Hardware Drivers" program says "No propietary drivers are in use on this system", when I know I have an NVidia 6600 board. Running "sudo jockey-gtk" from console, I get these python tracebacks:

I'm attaching a dmesg and a lspci output. I can test some workarounds here, or get more info about this bug if you want. Maybe this is related to bug #195548 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/195548).

Thanks!

I can confirm this on an up-to-date Hardy (kernel 2.6.24-10-generic).

I'm also attaching the output of 'lspci -vvnn' (if it's of any any help).
