Title:
  (NVidia) "Hardware Drivers" is empty

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I run System > Administration > Hardware Drivers (/usr/bin/jockey-
  gtk), I obtain the message «No proprietary drivers are in use on this
  machine», and no driver is proposed (the window is empty). In the
  previous version of Ubuntu, I was able to select a NVidia driver.
  Here's more info:
