I am not sure this should be debated here, but I totally agree with Ken, 
I see fix released but have been unable find it anywhere.
Personally my system seems to be OK but until I am satisfied 340 is the 
end of the story I still follow this bug.

Having been an advocate for Linux for more than 15 years it is a shame 
to see the standard  apparently declining.

  This seems to fix it (at least for one version upgrade) for many
  people

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

  after that...

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

  (some users may be on the versions of these packages suffixed with
  -updates )
