Could someone offer advice please? I was affected by this bug in 12.04 LTS Precise but in practical terms fixed it by installing nvidia-304=304.134-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 . Subsequent security updates to nvidia packages were offered but I ignored them following comments in this thread that they reintroduced the bug. All was well until I upgraded to 14.04 Trusty yesterday but I've now hit problems.
I established through investigations following the evident loss of my XWindows interface that PPAs are disabled on upgrades. I believe however that I have successfully re-enabled them in Trusty. I have a semi- functional desktop through having purged all NVIDIA drivers, and have tried to install nvidia-304=304.134-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (and also 14.04, and 14.04.2) thinking that this would exist and correspond with the version that worked under Precise. Unfortunately they weren't found, and so I'm hoping that someone knows which nvidia package in which repository I should install in order to regain functioning graphics. My graphics card is a GeForce 6200 TurboCache (Device Id 0x0161) and it requires a 304.xx driver. Incidentally I intend upgrading very soon to Xenial but would much prefer to do this from a stable base.
