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

[_dan_]

Ill give up, i told you its with a fresh, in other words NEW install, it is with a fresh/new install with latest 13.04 i dont know what more to tell you. Sure mark it invalid, mark it incomplete, i give up. I know how to fix this, i know how to manually install those drivers, many other ppl dont know it, they dont know how to report a bug, they dont know how to use apt, you know what will happen?
They see the sluggish behaviour of the default graphics driver and think "oh this ubuntu cant even handle simple windows properly, ill switch back to windows 7" or they look if special drivers are available and see none listed -> purge ubuntu.
i tried to be helpful and contribute  and report this bug, so others may not run into this,  but you are making it impossible for me to contribute.
You are not reading what i am writing and making wild assumptions about my installation and marking a bug *invalid* while glancing over the description.

I do NOT have old files lying around(its is/was a fresh install), its
not the settings in .gconf, .gnome2 or whatever. It is a fresh install,
2 different versions of ubuntu(12.10 and 13.04), its an issue with
jockey/software-properties or whatever and with this version of the
gt880.

I give up, lets mark it invalid.

** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid

Title:
  Additional Drivers won't show option to install proper nvidia drivers

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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:
