I recently upgraded to 12.10 and was just checking for proprietary drivers to be installed. I found this in software sources

Additional Drivers

When I enabled Nvidia binary Xorg driver, unity disappears along with the launcher and everything. I just have the wallpaper. I did manage to open the terminal and open software sources and select the nouveau display driver which fixed it.

Question is how to enable NVIDIA binary Xorg driver and have everything working?

Hardware: Apple MacBook Pro 9,1 Mid 2012 15 inch non-retina. NVIDIA GeForce GT650M

EDIT: I tried the solution here. And now, when I boot into Ubuntu, I get a blinking cursor. That's all! No tty1, nothing. help !!
