Bug description:
  2015-06-16 TJ:

  I've published a possibly fixed package for Trusty to my PPA at:

  https://launchpad.net/~tj/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia

  Please test and report back if that fixes the issue. If it does I can
  attach the fixed branch to bug #1431753 where the other release fixes
  are being tracked.

  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.
