Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, after install nvidia binary driver
  331.89 from Additional Drivers application then reboot, it shows black
  screen, no login window, I even can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to
  text mode, then I reboot and go to recovery mode, use 'prime-select
  intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as
  soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.
