Bug Description

Environment: My desktop (which needs to run Compiz effects / Dual Screen etc)
Had an "Unable to install updates, please do a partial update" message
I then ran the update through the GUI

When the system rebooted I had 800x600 resolution only on one screen. My Proprietary Nvidia drivers had stopped working

I went to the drivers GUI and tried to download them

Unable to install drivers

Additional:
Downloading the drivers from Nvidia's website and installing them through the CLI does not work for me either
Ubuntu forums provides no good workaround at this time
