This fix works for me although I could not properly test any 3D
applications. My Steam client is acting weird and does not see my
installed games anymore, complaining about partition being non-
executable. Also it was hanging at after entering password. I had to
create a new user and start fresh.

Hardware: GTX 770M with 3GB on Asus G751-JX laptop.

Here are simple steps to test without getting too much into "proposed": (for 14.04)
1) Run "Software & Updates" application, 
2) Click on "Updates" tab,
3) Tick on "Pre-release updates (trusty-proposed)" and hit Close button.
4) Authorize the change and close. It will ask for refreshing software information. Hit Reload and allow this.
5) Run the same app again on item 1 above and go to "Additional Drivers" tab. Now you should see 346 and 340 builds. Chose what you need and hit "Apply Changes"
6) After you are done, reboot first to test. You can repeat steps 1-3 again and disable proposed in order to avoid installing proposed packages for other applications.

Bug description:
  Filing this against the 340-updates version but possibly the same
  applies to older versions, too. The nvidia source package produces two
  individual dkms packages: nvidia-340-updates, nvidia-340-updates-uvm.
  The problem is that the DKMS build of the nvidia-uvm module runs
  compile steps inside the nvidia modules build directory. This is
  violating the DKMS assumption that each module can be build
  independently (there is no way of describing cross-modules
  dependencies and even more important, the autoinstall step after a new
  kernel is installed will run the modules build in parallel).

  Since nvidia and nvidia-uvm are very dependent on each other the right
  course of action seems to be to combine both sources in one DKMS
  module that produces two kernel modules (this is supported by DKMS).
  For the transition this resulting dkms package needs to have a
  breaks/replaces for the nvidia-uvm package.
