Same with my Dell E6520 with HD3000 and NVS4200M. When I switch to Nvidia I am stuck in a black screen just before the login screen.
The strange thing is that when I connect an external monitor through VGA port I can login and use the desktop on the external monitor but built- in display is still blank. Each time I have to drop back to console and switch back to intel with prime-select command. to get the screen back. Just after switching to Nvidia xorg.conf is deleted and if I copy a previously backed-up xorg.conf file Nvidia works but is broken again when I make a switch from Intel to Nvidia. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362848 Title: ubuntu 14.04 after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 black screen and freeze Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 from Additional Drivers application then reboot, it shows black screen, no login window, I even can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to text mode, then I reboot and go to recovery mode, use 'prime-select intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.
