[Bug 1362848] Re: ubuntu 14.04 after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 black screen and freeze

 

Installed nvidia-331-updates but still the problem persists.
If I "sudo modprobe nvidia" I get the error "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_331_updates': Invalid argument" and if I try "prime-switch nvidia" I get "/etc/modprobe.d is not a file"
In attachment also my Xorg.0.log when booting after "prime-select nvidia"

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.
