Thank you Steven. I was a bit more drastic. After purging the ppa didn't work I purged the whole graphic environment from the X-server on up. Then I did a CLI dist-upgrade and finally re-installed all the purged packages back. I had to re-install the Nvidia driver back and after that everything worked. The funny thing is that this happened only in one machine of eight with supposedly identical configuration.
