After upgrading to eoan and updating all packages, I'm unable to enable the nVidia drivers. I haven't done much to enable new PPAs yet, though.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm terribly sorry that I didn't update this when my memory was a bit fresher, but it was fixed by updating to the newer PPAs and a few update iterations.

Thanks. For future reference, PPAs are not supported here so you shouldn't log Launchpad bugs about them.
