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.
