This is actually by design, Optimus laptops are currently not supported by the driver "as is" and will after installation break your desktop (unless you use Bumblebee).

This "bug" is reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/983202

You may still manually install the driver by installing the nvidia-current package, but it's not recommended. Instead, I suggest you to install Bumblebee which will take care of pulling the driver and configuring it to not break the desktop.

Why do you want to reinstall? Additional drivers will still be empty. – Lekensteyn Apr 30 '12 at 12:25
