Hmmm. I had booted into low-graphics mode after failing to manually install the nvidia driver, when the third-party drivers icon appeared in my taskbar. It offered me two proprietary nvidia drivers to install - I chose the recommended one (version 177) and it works perfectly. This is the same tool as going through the menus: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. I've always had to manually install the nvidia driver in the past, so I hadn't tried the hardware drivers tool this time - glad to see it works! Thanks, ubuntu!
