I have a laptop Asus K53s with nVidia GeForce GT 540M. I (freshly) installed Ubuntu 14.04 64bit and set up nvidia-331 proprietary driver for the graphic card. I set prime option to run nVidia acceleration and it used to work fine.
On 25th Janaury 2015, there was an Ubuntu software update (from apt log I saw it was updated nvidia-settings, and other stuff) after which I see a black screen instead of the login screen. I tried to switch to intel graphic card (sudo prime-switch intel) but it gives erros, it is not able to switch to intel. I tried to purge nvidia* and then install nvidia-340, but it still shows black screen instead of login. The only way to use my laptop is to install: apt-get install nvidia-current-updates which is the driver nvidia-304. But it uses the intel graphics card. It is not possible switch to nVidia neither with sudo prime-switch nvidia nor with nvidia-setting graphic utility. I need to use my nVidia card for graphic acceleration (OpenGL). At the moment the laptop is too slow for my activity (CAD). -- 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.
