I do regularly update my system (desktop), but only reboot it once every
few months. Yesterday I was forced to reboot, and my uptime of 112 days
was gone. Upon reboot I ran into the same issue as this ticket
describes.  Having had my fair share of X11 issues in the past, this
issue was non-trivial to fix, and I only managed to do so with the steps
~mlankhorst provided.  Somewhat more novice users surely will be at wits
end and will probably feel they need to resort to a complete reinstall,
or switch to Windows (again) instead.

Title:
  Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For a couple of days my 14.10 desktop has been broken. It's got an
  nvidia GeForce GTX 460 and was working up until I got some updates.
  Now I get a broken display with wrong resolution and no 3d
  acceleration, so I can't login, making the machine unusable.

  Here's my xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8197542/
