Public bug reported:

First the mouse pointer were gone on some application icon at the corner where teamviewer and dropbox icon is located.
Second, it could not recognise the external monitor.
Third, it doesnt seem to see nvidia driver in Additional drivers, and I cannot switch it from intel to nvidia in Nvidia settings either.

What I am doing now to purge the program and reinstall to see if
reappears in additional drivers  after restart
