Public bug reported:

I am a compleat noob on ubuntu. I have used xubuntu and the graphics
work ok some minor glitches and crashes, but i installed ubuntu 14.04.01
the graphics card will not even work at all for opensource. 173 nivida
is worse I had to reinstall because it would not let me do anything. the
only way i could make things work is if i was on failsafe graphics

It could crash and it has. than i have to reinstall and its getting pretty anoying. the computer I am using is the hp slimline s5600 Desktop PC series.  this is the current driver package im using NVidia binary X.Org driver ('current' driver) oh and also i have a hybrid card with cuda. man I wish you guys could comeover to my place to fix this problem. 
when I installed the program I expected for it to run like it did on windows. but when I move the mouse during a video it gets all laggy. and also minecraft runs like poop lol
