[Bug 2154065] [NEW] Software & Updates: Additional Drivers tab not completing Search...

[Matthew Lewellen]

Public bug reported:

The GUI in the Software & Updates: Additional Drivers tab is "Searching
for available drivers..." but is not completing the search. I am
specifically looking for Nvidia drivers. Note that the drivers are
available via the backend and are correctly installed, with NVIDIA-SMI
working perfectly.
