1. Open Hardware Drivers window
2. It lists "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) [Recommended]" and "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96)" with gray lights next to them, and an "Activate" button with a green light. Clicking on either driver shows "This driver is not activated" at the bottom with another gray light.
3. I select either of the drivers and click the Activate button.
4. Asks for password
5. An "Untitled window" dialog pops up that says "Downloading and installing driver", with an indeterminate-progress indicator.
6. After a long wait, the progress bar starts to fills up, and it acts as though it is installing, though it provides no feedback after it's done; it just disappears
7. The "Activate" button is still lit green, and the lights next to the drivers are still grey.

After a reboot it ends up in low-graphics mode because it's not configured correctly.
