Public bug reported: After I updated to Ubuntu 14.04, my system stopped loading a display. Several reboots made no difference. I tried nvidia-331 and nvidia-304, but the same thing kept happening: I got a message to say that "The system is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself". I'm then given some options:
- If I "run in low-graphics mode, just for one session", I just get the flashing cursor. - If I click "reconfigure graphics", I get asked whether I want to use my default (generic) configuration or my backed-up configuration, both of which just cause the same dialog box to reappear. When I look in the logs, it says that the Nvidia kernel module failed to start. At the suggestion of one of the comments on this thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39915...-graphics-mode ...I tried running sudo modprobe nvidia-331, followed by sudo lightdm start. This starts the display in the correct display resolution, but without sound. After some advice from ubuntuforums, I ended up installing 337.19 from the xorg-edgers PPA, which solved the problem.
