[Bug 1932021] Re: cannot find proper graphics drivers and cannot install (NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M])

[Daniel van Vugt]

Since the 'oibaf' PPA is likely the problem here I am going to close
this bug. Please uninstall the PPA, reboot, and if the problem continues
to occur then open a new bug.
