I was afflicted by a version of this problem after updating 12.04 LTS Precise via the Update Manager on 20/11/2016. The principal problem is that the icons on the desktop launchpad became invisible, though hovering over where I suspected that they were with the mouse did result in a small text banner identifying the application being displayed. Some colours might not be right also, but the problems are minor compared with what some people have reported.
I attempted to downgrade manually using advice given here but to no avail, possibly because I wasn't sure what version of nvidia-304 I'd been on previously, though I think it was .131. After quite a lot of fiddling I gave up and reverted to the unsatisfactory 304.132, hoping that a fix, possibly consisting of a downgrade, would be forthcoming soon. I've only just subscribed to e-mails about this bug so apologies if this question has already been answered but is a fix going to be released, and if so roughly when? My Ubuntu instance is a secondary machine but I do use it and like it be working, which it was doing well until the update. If it helps my GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCache and requires a 304.xx driver, and my CPU is AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+.
