[Bug 1126234] Re: Does not show nvidia driver if intel card is active

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.89.3

---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.89.3) trusty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules:
    - Temporarily disable all tests. We'll switch them back on as
      soon as we find out the cause of these failures.
  * tests/gpu-manager.py:
    - Do not run on anything but x86 family.

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.89.2) trusty; urgency=low

  * tests/gpu-manager.py:
    - Fix FTBFS.

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.89.1) trusty; urgency=low

  * tests/gpu-manager.py:
    - Remove leftover print that caused tests to fail in -proposed.

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.89) trusty; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - Breaks: nvidia-prime (<< 0.6). We don't want the gpu-manager
      to compete with the old nvidia-prime on hybrid systems.
  * share/hybrid/gpu-manager.c:
    - Fix memory leaks and complete the different test cases.
  * tests/gpu-manager.py:
    - Add test suite for gpu-manager to reproduce different
      hardware/software scenarios.
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py, tests/ubuntu_drivers.py:
    - Enable installing graphics drivers on laptops with hybrid
      graphics (LP: #1126234), and on desktop systems where the
      BIOS doesn't disable the integrated GPU when a discrete
      card is available (LP: #1126234). This is now possible
      thanks to the gpu-manager (now enabled by default).
  * Replace the deprecated hybrid-detect program with gpu-manager (now
    enabled by default). In case of problems with the gpu-manager, it
    can be disabled by passing "nogpumanager" as a boot parameter.

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:
