Everyone, Ok. Based on the input from Pal_ here is how I got my system running again. THANKS PAL!
1. I used the "Additional Drivers" application to remove (deactivate) the Nvidia driver. 2. I used Synaptic to remove all Nvidia packages. 3. I followed Pal's link and downloaded the following packages: nvidia-185-libvdpau 256.53-0ubuntu3 nvidia-185-modaliases 256.53-0ubuntu3 nvidia-current 256.53-0ubuntu3 nvidia-current-modaliases 256.53-0ubuntu3 nvidia-glx-185 256.53-0ubuntu3 I used Nautilus to view my download directory and double click on each of these file names (one at a time) to automatically launch the "Ubuntu Software Center" application that allowed me to install each package (one at a time). After all packages have been installed, do the following: sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf (select the number for the alternative for nvidia-current) sudo ldconfig sudo nvidia-xconfig sudo reboot I don't know why Ubuntu does not have the 256-53 driver in the repository. Hope I didn't leave any steps out and this helps everyone else until Ubuntu fixes this bug.
