Comment 3 for bug 1694513

Hey Steve,
Yes I was installing Nvidia proprietary driver for my 960MX in Xubuntu
using " software and updates only" GUI. Software and updates then
additional drivers then selecting the Nvidia driver and apply changes. It
keeps apply changing for hours on end.And doesn't get completed. I am new
to ubuntu and Xubuntu basically. I don't really know why is it not
installing the driver
