My problem is known, but still remains unsolved. After installing the latest (or any other version) of Nvidia drivers I get black screen or am unable to login.



Useful information:




  • nvidia-detector shows none,

  • lspci shows:



    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)

  • Ubuntu 14.04.1 x64


  • linux kernel version is 3.13.0-37-generic

  • Nvidia driver version is 340.46



I can switch (visually) between via nvidia-prime and Nvidia X Server Settings now, though before it was impossible due to different problems like this.



I've tried to install the latest drivers from official page, but get the same.

Only after fresh installing Ubuntu 14.10 and choosing Nvidia binary driver - version 331.89 from nvidia-331 (System settings -> Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers) many of my problems have solved! Great!




  • Nvidia card works now! (after 1 year)

  • Correct brightness control

  • Laptop have become colder



If the list of additional drives is empty, put a tick on "Canonical Partners" at System settings -> Software & Updates -> Other Software, close, update cache and try again.
