Public bug reported:

My motherboard is based on NVidia 8200. I am using this machine as a
HTPC running Kodi. The system was running fine using Ubuntu 12.04.
However, after upgrading to 14.04 the nouveau driver is sometimes
causing crashes. To fix these problems I tried to install a proprietary
NVidia driver. The latest driver will crash UBuntu completely after
launching Kodi.

While trying to activate the 304 driver the system did take several
minutes and the progress bar stopped moving. After rebooting the machine
the current error was reported. It's strange that there are so many
problems with Trusty. I wish I had never upgraded my HTPC.
