Bug Description
Fresh 20.04 install: after changing from proprietary nvidia 440 driver to nouveau and restart, the Software & Updates does not allow me to change back to the proprietary drivers, as the buttons are now greyed out.
Workaround:
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # shows available drivers
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-440
