  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 )

  Update 2015-05-23:
  As of the recent kernel update (3.13.0-53), the above two commands followed by a reboot may not fix it. Instead:

  $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm

  followed by a reboot.
