    "Hardware Drivers" missing in System->Administration

    I have upgraded a previous partial installation of karmic up to lucid. When I go to System->Administration there is no "Hardware Drivers" link. What should I apt-get install to get the Hardware Drivers link.

    jockey-gtk

    If it's already installed, take a look in System>>MainMenu to see if you can add it to the menu.

    Do you have jockey-gtk installed? Open a terminal (applications > accessories > terminal) and post the output of:
    Code:
    aptitude search jockey
    If jockey-gtk is installed there will be an "i" in front of it. If jockey-gtk is not installed there will be a "p" before it.
    What video card do you have? You can install the correct driver from the Ubuntu repos using apt-get via the terminal.

    And welcome to the Ubuntu forums!

    Is System > Admin > Additional Drivers there - it has been renamed.

    use "jockey-gtk" in terminal to check jockey-gtk installed or not;
    use "sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk" to install jockey-gtk;
    finished.
    the additional drivers can be found.
