That happened to me when I upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 stable. But no solution worked for me.. It's very serious as I couldn't work now.
I tried to use nvidia 331 drivers, prime select nvidia and Intel, purge all nvidia drivers, startx... But always all black except terminal. I readed all similar bugs out there but almost all are dated from January and February.. I writing this from my smartphone after 2 days fighting... I have a laptop with a nvidia 765gtx. The previous kubuntu worked almost fine with the 319 driver (I also tried to use that driver). I never installed a nvidia driver out of official repos -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-prime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1274822 Title: latest update breaks nvidia-prime and produces blank screen Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I'm currently using a laptop with optimus technology and NVidia graphic card. Last year (2013) I installed NVidia-prime and it worked perfectly. However, the very recent update (2014/1/29) broke NVidia- prime. The screen turned into complete blackness after Ubuntu splash screen (the purple one), and was even not showing cursor. However, from several difference behaviors I am sure that everything else (like terminals, keyboard inputs and even games) is working properly after login.
