14.04 - gui fail to boot after dist-upgrade



I just ran apt-get dist-upgrade from 14.04.2 and it upgraded ubuntu to 14.04.3. But when i rebooted my laptop my gui wont boot. I tried purging the nvidia drivers (sudo apt-get purge nvidia*) and reinstall (sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings) but with no luck.



Any ideas why my drivers would start to fail after dist-upgrade?




EDIT: I noticed that if I let my laptop go to sleep and then waking it up the GUI boots correctly with nvidia-346 drivers so it seems the drivers work but something isnt booting correctly. Any ideas what?



I have a gefore gtx 860M (also intel 4400).



You install wrong Nvidia drivers.



nvidia-current installs legacy drivers that do not support your adapter.



Run this:




sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-346 nvidia-prime


and reboot.
