[Bug 1069365] [NEW] software-properties-gtk succeeds, even nvidia driver isn't installed proper

[Karl Krach]

Public bug reported:

This bug depends on #574397

On a brand new ubunto 12.10 installation, when switching to nvidia
driver it looks like as it succeeded. But after reboot, the desktop
doesn't fill the screen. It turned out, that the nvidia driver is
installed - but not the kernel module - see attached log.

Please make the driver-switching fail, when such problems appear.
(Better of couse, that such problem woun't appear - but that's not in
your hand)

Workaround here: install "linux-headers-generic" and "nvidia-current"
manually.
