Driver Manager is empty

[shmish]

Hello,
Just installed kubuntu 14.04. Going to Driver manager, I get an empty window. I found another post about this and the suggestion was to fiddle with some of the graphics effects. I tried changing a few things but it seems to be a bit of a needle in the haystack issue.

FWIW, my graphics are Intel Mobile GM965/LG960 integrated
KDE 4.13.2
intel x86_64 (installed 64bit version of kubuntu)

thanks

you wont find any additional drivers if there are none that your system needs .

are you having a problem you think is a driver issue?

Yup, there are no closed-source drivers for Intel graphics in Linux, they only make the free ones, open source kind

I was just looking for info on wireless adaptor in case mine wasn't installed. I was surprised that device manager was empty. But know I'm thinking that that's just the way it is supposed to be!

The "Driver Manager" is misleading I think... its only for video drivers isn't it?

[claydoh]

No, as some wifi modules still are available there as well, though overall most people it does mean video these days.

Good to know. I don't recall seeing anything but video. Thanks for clarifying.

I recall a closed wireless driver discussed here.
