No, this is *not* fixed for 331 and 331-updates; in fact, nothing has
changed. The "fix released" status presumably was set by yet another
inattentive user who landed onto this Launchpad page after getting a
whoopsie error. Unfortunately, the status cannot easily be reverted to
"triaged" because of what I feel is a shortcoming in Launchpad.

There is some good news, though: Alberto Milone over at lp:1431753
(which describes the actual *source* of the problem) hinted at intending
to provide a fix for 14.04. Unfortunately, he hasn't provided any
updates, details or time frame in the last 3 weeks. So, those of you who
have not become completely embittered by Canonical's unforgivable lack
of attention to this atrocious bug in their "Less Than Stellar" (LTS)
line, PLEASE head over to lp:1431753 and politely draw their attention
to the fact that a massive number of users are very badly affected.

  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.
