[Bug 1251940] [NEW] software-properties-gtk does not have drivers tab

[Martin G Miller]

Public bug reported:

I recently upgraded my nvidia driver and after rebooting, checked jockey
(additional drivers) to see if the new driver was installed.  It said it
was activated, but not in use.  This was an error as it was clearly in
use.  I then discovered that jockey has been superseded by software-
properties-gtk.  This is the gui that should be used for the old
additional drivers function.  When running  software-properties-gtk, the
dialog that opens does not have the last tab on the right that should
show the additional drivers.

Release: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 64 bit
Version  software-properties-gtk:  Installed: 0.82.7.6

What is expected:  software-properties-gtk should have a tab for updating video drivers.
What happened:  The tab is missing
