I have just experienced this bug. The linked duplicate bug is for a
different version of the drivers (duplicate is 331, this is for 173).

I'm on a fresh install of 14.04.2 with a Macbook Pro 3,1 (late 2007).
The reason I'm trying to install legacy nvidia drivers is I can't get
the newer/current nvidia binaries to boot on this laptop (gpu is g84m).
