Bug Description

Software-properties does not recognize Nvidia Optimus hardware, though the system so.

The expected was to appear some options, like:

- nvidia driver + nvidia-prime
- nvidia driver + bumblebee

Or just some nvidia drivers (304, 304-updates, 331, 331-updates...), as usual.

software-properties is recognizing Nvidia now, at least in my hardware (but only after system install, in the Live system it does not)
