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

 

My work laptop was severely affected by this bug ... needs to get
resolved ASAP because it does actually prevent me from getting my work
done.

Essentially, same as everyone else on this thread: black screen on boot-
up with the NVIDIA adapter.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64bit
Laptop: Thinkpad w540
GPU: NVIDIA GK107GLM (Quadro K1100M) and Intel HD 4400
Desktop: KDE
Kernel: 3.13.0-45-generic
CPU: Intel Core i7-4900MQ

** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-346 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

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.

  OS: Ubuntu 14.04 64bit
  Laptop: HP ENVY 15t Nvidia GeForce GT 740M + Intel HD 4600
  Desktop: Unity
  Kernel: 3.13.0
