Thanks! I looked at the ubuntu-drivers-common and found related bug 1307069 for anyone following along.

Now when I boot my system, it hangs for around a minute before I get a graphical login screen. I had thought the system was failing to boot entirely for a while. I spotted a grep of /var/log/syslog started by gpu-manager together with grep in D state in my process listing, so I think the cause is that gpu-manager greps my syslog and takes so long. I don't think it's reasonable to hang the boot for so long, even with my bloated syslog. Nothing else is breaking due to this and I expect the bloated ones to rotate out. Is there a better approach to whatever gpu-manager needs to do, such as to only grep the last X bytes of the syslog, perhaps? Or find some other way? grepping syslog seems fragile to me. I also note that I can't remove ubuntu-drivers-common (dependency from software-properties-gtk, which I want). I'm not sure that I need it. It's OK for it to be there, but if it cannot be removed then that's more reason for it to be particularly well behaved.
