Public bug reported: I did a clean install of 14.04, updated, dist-upgraded and then installed nvidia-current. When booting I get a black/blank screen. If I add nomodeset at boot then I get a purple box that fills up about 75% of my screen but is otherwise blank. If I wait a bit I can type in my encrytion password and then the machine will continue booting and once it gets to LightDM/X the screen works fine.
