[Bug 1021733] Re: Complete the Additional Drivers implementation

[Martin Pitt]

Note, in ubuntu-drivers-common 0.2.61 I added a simple wrapper tool
which pretends that you have an nvidia, fglrx, and broadcom wifi card.
Run it like this in the s-p checkout:

 PYTHONPATH=. /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/fake-devices-wrapper
./software-properties-gtk --data-dir=data

For s-p to work with the wrapper you need a tiny patch to s-p:

Title:
  Complete the Additional Drivers implementation

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I've started implementing the design in
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareAndUpdatesSettings#drivers ; devices
  can be listed on systems that require binary drivers, and the new tab
  is there with the basic UI bits.

  What's left to be done:
   - Testing, testing, testing.
   - Figure out what is being done wrong  that causes the crash in comment #2.
   - Make sure the cases for multiple devices (wifi, graphics) all need custom drivers.
   - Update status text below each device on their status.
   - Use real icons provided by the design team
