I had the same issue. Turned out to be that the kernel that was actually
running was not the same as the one that was being installed and,
supposedly, the nvidia driver was compiling against.

Do a 'uname -a' and check to see if you are running what you think you
are running (in my case 3.11.0 vs 3.13.0). Also, an 'lsmod | grep
nvidia' showed nothing on mine.

Installing linux-generic and a reboot solved the issue for me (ie 'sudo
apt-get install linux-generic')

Title:
  GUI does not work after update

Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After logging into PC today and running the software updater, various
  system updates were downloaded. I was promped to restart, which I did.
  At reboot, the system would get as far as displaying the login screen.
  After I entered my password, the system appears to hang, with no disk
  activity. I have a dual monitor system, but only the left monitor is
  active, in that it displays a purple Ubuntu splash screen, without the
  login box. I have tried restarting a number of times, but the result
  is always the same. I can log in by using the advanced options and
  drop into the root console.

  I am using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.
  uname -a reports 3.11.0-20-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 1 20:40:25 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Hardware is a Dell Precision T3400
