Additional drivers utility

Please help me to figure out why after some updates additional drivers had become unavailable? It tells me that at this time it is used manually installed drivers - not even Nouveau driver. Is it OK?

And if it's not normal how can I revert to previous state? Thanks in advance.

This state means that you have installed some proprietary driver that is not available in current repositories. Maybe you installed one from a PPA or some other way.

You can keep using the current driver, or install one of the recommended ones.

Well, I have found an easy solution for this problem.

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

This updates all drivers, removes manually installed and after that all drivers become accessible.

This question/answer helped me:

Thank you very much!
