    this only happens if you install proprietary drivers manually and not through the software center (or package manager for the cli folks) on almost every given linux distro
    this is why no sane linux user recommends installing download scripts from websites, you rely instead on your package manager to handle everything

      I never installed any driver in any way other than the software center and it happened to me in every single update for several years until I finally bothered to search how to configure the update process to stop doing it (last month).

      Multiple machines, distros, DEs, you name it. None of them ever not had this problem.
