After I have updated yesterday Ubuntu 14.04 in a routine update my NVIDIA Gforce doesn't work anymore. I get the login screen but then it doesn't continue. Mouse pointer is showing, the background image but no contiuation to the full desktop. With Ctrl+Alt+F1 I can switch to the console but I don't know, how to continue, how to make an update of the driver for example. DFuring that update the Ubuntu-core was updated an I had to reboot after that. Can it be, that the driver now doesn't fit to the Ubuntu update? How to resolve that now?

You need to re-install the NVIDIA driver by using the following commands in a console. You must first login entering your username and password.

When you enter you password, you see nothing.

Try the following in a console:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

Then do the following:

sudo apt-get update

And the last:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

Now reboot the system, and try if you can login.
