[Bug 837495] [NEW] Jockey does not offer installation of Nvidia drivers

 

Public bug reported:

Hello,

during Beta testing I wanted to install the propritary Nvidia drivers on
my machine, but Jockey doesn't offer them for installation, just an
empty window saying "No propritary drivers are used on this system" (see
screenshot).

If launched via Terminal I get a Python backtrace which I am also
attaching.

Kind regards,
Jan
