Public bug reported:

The proprietary driver provided by Nvidia absolutely bricks the X server
on 14.4 x64. i've had to re-install to fix the issue.

ive been running into x-server problems even with the Nvidia driver
provided in ubuntu updates, and the latest unity update causes X to
randomly crash sometimes. i have to exit though Ctl Alt F1 and restart
it. i believe it's still related to the Nvidia driver though. (as seen
in the error report)

I suggest ubuntu staff notify users to avoid using provided Nvidia
packages from the nvidia site: they seem to be responsible for some of
the login-loop issues. (which is an Xserver issue, not Lightdm like
others say) some of the ubuntu-dist nvidia packages might be doing it
too.
