Title:
  nvidia-331-updates wrongly installed by an upgrade prevent GNOME shell
  to start

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Triaged
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Automatic Update (2014-12-11) prevents gnome shell from starting.
  No login screen.
  Just the ubuntu gnome logo
  Still resposible, can be e.g. shut down properly by >halt.
  The gnome shell (plymouth?) gets stuck during start.
  Virtual console works fine.

  System:
  Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 amd 64

  Problem:
  Log apt log file says, that for some obscure reason nvidia packages were installed during the update.
  Together with xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core, and plymouth updates.
  Unfortunatly there is not nvidia graphics card.
  Removing all nvidia packages seemed to solve the problem.

  The follwing packages were installed, which I think are wrong:
  libcuda1-331-updates
  nvidia-331-updates
  nvidia-331-updates-uvm
  nvidia-libopencl1-331-updates
  nvidia-prime
  nvidia-settings
