Public bug reported: After switching in Ubuntu 14.04 from the tested proprietary NVIDIA driver to the nouveau open-source driver, all additional drivers disappear from "Additional drivers" tab in "Software & Updates".
Steps to reproduce: 1. Install NVIDIA proprietary drivers via "Software & Updates". 2. Reboot. 3. Switch to nouveau driver via "Software & Updates". 4. Reboot. 5. Check "Additional drivers" in "Software & Updates". 6. "No additional drivers available." I'd like to be able to re-install the proprietary drivers via these means, as switching drivers did not have the intended effect.
