An I+N machine, Lenovo ThinkPad T440p (CID 201309-14169),
could not reproduce this issue.
However,
I tested this fix by the following steps:
1. install Ubuntu 14.04.1 on Lenovo ThinkPad T440p (CID 201309-14169)
2. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common ( to be the latest version
1:0.2.91.6)
3. sudo reboot
4. sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-updates (version: 331.38-0ubuntu7.1)
5. sudo reboot
6. sudo dkms remove bbswitch/0.7 --all
7. reboot
8. /var/log/gpu-manager.log now will tell you 'Is nvidia enabled? no'
9. enabled the proposed pocket via software center
10. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common ( to upgrade
ubuntu-drivers-common)
11. reboot
12. /var/log/gpu-manager.log now will tell you 'Is nvidia enabled? yes'
--------------------
apt-cache policy ubuntu-drivers-common
