[Bug 1126234] Re: Additional Drivers won't show option to install proper nvidia drivers

[_dan_]

After upgrading to saucy, the problem is back.
ubuntu-drivers debug shows the following issue:

=== log messages from detection ===
DEBUG:root:X.org log reports loaded intel driver, disabling driver nvidia-173 for hybrid system
DEBUG:root:X.org log reports loaded intel driver, disabling driver nvidia-304 for hybrid system
DEBUG:root:X.org log reports loaded intel driver, disabling driver nvidia-304-updates for hybrid system
DEBUG:root:X.org log reports loaded intel driver, disabling driver nvidia-319 for hybrid system
DEBUG:root:X.org log reports loaded intel driver, disabling driver nvidia-319-updates for hybrid system


Although my monitors are connected to the nvidia card, not the intel , and X runs via nouveau.

Bug description:
  Since 12.10 i am unable to install the nvidia drivers via the gui, update-manager settings (Software Sources -> Additional Drivers) will not give me an option to install, just shows an empty list.
  jockey-text returns an empty list aswell
  "jockey-text 
  Additional Drivers
  Searching for available drivers...
  "
  jockey-kde on the other hand shows a list of 6 drivers with the same title.

  lspci|grep VGA shows me:
