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

[Roy]

** Tags added: dist-upgrade

** Description changed:

  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.
