Public bug reported:
I installed Ubuntu 13.04 64bit on a brand-new notebook which has an
NVidia ge-force 710M.
During the installation I remember a checkbox which read something like
"install additional 3rd party software" or something like that, which I
checked.
Since the computer has an nvidia gpu, I expected nvidia drivers to be
automatically installed during installation.
If that is not possible due to some licencing issue, then the very first thing
I should see just after completing the installation should be a warning saying
that the computer has a graphic card for which drivers have not been installed,
and with instruction about what to do.
