I am using ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. By default ubuntu was using x.orgXserver nouveau but i changed it to Nvidia binary drvier 346 (proprietary, tested).
But after I udated ubuntu through Software Updater, ubuntu changed it back to nouveau driver. And now when i run Software Updater although ubuntu is using nouveau there is these list of updates which seems to be updates for Nvidia proprietary driver, why is that?
these are available udates:
nvidia binary diriver-version 340.76
nvidia cuda runtime library
and so on
should i install these updates? If not and if installing them
doesn't do anything(considering ubuntu is using xserver) what should
i do for them not to show in Software updater?
And one more question is nvidia driver still installed on my computer?
If so should i remove it? and how?
dpkg -l | grep nvidia output:

The nvidia-331 packages are left for compatibility only, they just pull nvidia-340 packages.
You have nvidia-340 installed. There is nothing to worry about.
