I have a similar problem with Ubuntu 14.10: with yesterday updates I was not able to boot, the screen was black and I can do nothing (neither CTRL+ALT+f1): I started a recovery mode and removed nVidia drivers, then the system boots without problem.
When I tried to install nvidia drivers 331 from the update center they were installed but not activated: neither sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf worked after the reboot. With nVidia driver downloaded from nVidia site all works well. Plus, I'm able to reproduce it on a dedicated partition: I have a live usb with a daily of the end of July: I install it, I install the nvidia-331 from the Additional driver tab, I reboot and all works well, then I update my workstation (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade) and at the next reboot I'm not able to do nothing, but reboot. Let me know what can I do to help you to fix this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1363408 Title: nvidia proprietary drivers are broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1363408/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
