Written by l0xin the 2 Sep 10 at 23:29. Category: Installation. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
After a clean installation of Ubuntu 10.04 a restricted drivers icon appeared in the system tray, with no information about what it was before clicking it.

Solution #1: Popup + tooltip on hover

A pop-up to draw attention to the icon and a tool-tip when hovering over it ("Restricted drivers are available, please click for more information") would be descriptive.

Solution #2: Popup + Tooltip + More Info

I like l0xin's idea, but i think a popup message with more information is justified. Something along the lines of "Ubuntu has found hardware that requires restricted device drivers to function properly. Please click for more information."
