The log output looks quite alright. * Can you confirm that you actually have an ATi graphics card? * Does "apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglrx" in a Terminal show a package des= cription and some data, or an error about 'no such package'? * If you start System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, does the appl= ication actually start up, and can you enable/disable the Fglrx driver? *Do you know how to reproduce this crash? It looks quite weird to me, as i= f "apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglrx" would usually work, and did work at jo= ckey startup, but suddenly failed while jockey was detecting hardware. Mayb= e the automatic package info update of apt-get got in the way? --===============6501430243438332544== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: James Clemence (jvc26) Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 01:23:45 -0000 Message-Id: <20080311012345.8074.93193.malone@gangotri.canonical.com> * Yes, I have an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb graphics card. * It does give me a package description and some data. * System -> Admin -> Hardware drivers lets me select and deselect the fglrx driver, though I havent been using it as at present it is ludicrously unstable with my card and just makes the whole system slow and break at best. * No, I wish I did, basically I logged in via gdm, and then after gnome had loaded and the background had appeared I got three crash reports, one of which was this one. That any more help?

If it's not permanently broken, I blame a race between the apt-get update cronjob and jockey, so that the package was temporarily not available. I'll see to making jockey more robust against this. --===============6501430243438332544== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: Martin Pitt (pitti) Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 14:47:23 -0000 Message-Id: <20080318144723.18768.41258.malone@potassium.ubuntu.com> Fixed in trunk. --===============6501430243438332544== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: Launchpad Janitor (janitor) Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:15:16 -0000 Message-Id: <20080318211526.29085.86559.malone@drescher.canonical.com> This bug was fixed in the package jockey - 0.3.2-0ubuntu2 --------------- jockey (0.3.2-0ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=3Dlow * Final 0.3.2 release (previous Ubuntu upload had a botched version numbe= r) with bug fixes only (no new features). This time also with orig.tar.gz again. - fglrx, nvidia handlers: Create screen section if it does not exist.

This can hap= pen if the daily apt cron job runs while jockey is running as well and temporarily causes inconsistent package indexes.
