Public bug reported:
I have a freshly-installed, up-to-date Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 machine (Dell
XPS M1710 with GeForce Go 7900 GS). I installed nvidia-current from the
Additional Drivers tab of Software Sources and it said it succeeded, but
upon reboot graphics were busted. The display was low-resolution and
Unity failed to start. It appears that nvidia-current did not pull in
the prerequisites for building the nvidia kernel module:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current
