After updating and restarting my Ubuntu 14.04, I get a split screen, similarly to the issue describe at Ubuntu 12.04 in VMware split screen issue after updating

I'm running it on VMware Workstation 7.1.4, my host is Windows 7 and kernel version is 3.13.0-45-generic .

First I found the exact kernel version using uname -r , then I applied the downgrade fix:

 sudo apt-get remove 3.13.0-45-generic
 sudo update-grub
 sudo shutdown -r now

After restarting, it still didn't get fixed, so I reran it again, now downgrading it from 3.13.0-44-generic. After the reboot, it worked fine, and my current version is 3.13.0-24-generic.

Disclaimer: the solution is similar to Ubuntu 12.04 in VMware split screen issue after updating. I decided to add a question and answer here anyway, because it didn't work on the first iteration.
