[Bug 1060757] [NEW] Nvidia driver removed on upgrade -> Unity won't work

[Roy]

Public bug reported:

I upgraded to 12.10 this morning, restarted the computer, logged-in, and
then Unity launcher and the top-bar didn't show up.

However, the desktop was ok and I could open guake. Because I noticed
before the upgrade that nvidia-current was going to be removed I tried
to reinstall it using apt-get and it fixed the problem.

That might be also a problem in fglrx, which was the replacement, but as
I have a Nvidia card it probably shouldn't be installed at all in first
place.
