I've same issue on fresh install, the list of additional drivers is empty and screen is full of garbage. I'm using nVidia GTX 580 on Z87 chipset motherboard, nothing is connected to intel card, only nvidia one is used. ubuntu-drivers log is attached.
Not sure that this is the right place to ask, but maybe someone knows if there is workaround for this issue? Having troubles with ubuntu install for 2 years now, primarily with screen lockup/garbage on it, even in install stage. ** Attachment added: "ubuntu-drivers.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1126234/+attachment/3941001/+files/ubuntu-drivers.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1126234 Title: Additional Drivers won't show option to install proper nvidia drivers Status in Nvidia Feature Request and Bug Reporting: New Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since 12.10 i am unable to install the nvidia drivers via the gui, update-manager settings (Software Sources -> Additional Drivers) will not give me an option to install, just shows an empty list. jockey-text returns an empty list aswell "jockey-text Additional Drivers Searching for available drivers...
