All back to normal running nVidia drivers. For 14.04 ignore advice about /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Irrelevant. Instead, boot into recovery mode in the grub menu.
Go into a shell (root shell) from the grub recovery menu. # make read-write mount -o remount,rw / # remove nvidia packages. apt-get purge 'nvidia*' exit The apt-get command needs the quotes around nvidia*. You will get a warnng that the first reboot might not be enough. I had to boot twice. Now in the Settings->Addtional Drivers select the nvidia driver you want. Then sudo apt-get install nvidia-modprobe Now reboot and all will, I hope, be good for you too.
