I did a clean install of 16.04. The Device Manager in the System Settings app does nothing. It shows the collecting information notice but never shows any information.

Do you mean Driver Manager? That is a know issue and is being worked on.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

yes ,,,,their are a few post on that @hear
untill it gets fixed you can still use the command line versionCode:ubuntu-drivers
Code:vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ [COLOR=#ff0000]ubuntu-drivers devices[/COLOR] == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 == vendor : NVIDIA Corporation modalias : pci:v000010DEd0000119Asv00001558sd00000376bc03sc00i00 model : GK104M [GeForce GTX 860M] driver : nvidia-361 - distro non-free recommended driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin == cpu-microcode.py == driver : intel-microcode - distro non-free
at this point you could run it asCode:ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
But I would use apt-get and doCode:sudo apt-get install nvidia-361

Hi VINNY,
Because I have the Software Source http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu and http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu added to my system I get the following;
Code::~$ ubuntu-drivers devices == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 == model : GF108M [GeForce GT 630M] vendor : NVIDIA Corporation modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000DE9sv00001043sd00001477bc03sc00i00 driver : nvidia-358 - third-party free driver : nvidia-364 - third-party free recommended driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-361 - distro non-free driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin driver : nvidia-304 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-304-updates - distro non-free == cpu-microcode.py == driver : intel-microcode - distro non-free
