Bug Description

After today and yesterday updates Gnome Shell doesn't start when nvidia-drivers installed. I tried a fresh install with Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.1 but the issue persists. It doesn't matter if bumblebee is installed or not, or if I use nvidia-prime, the sole presence of a proprietary nvidia drivers (tried with 304, 331 and 331-updates) will make gdm and gnome shell not to start. If I use bumblebee with nouveau driver and remove nvidia proprietary the system starts properly.
My system is:
Asus K55VD
i7-3610QM quad-core (Ivy Bridge)
nvidia 610m 2Gb
8 Gb RAM
Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.1 x86-amd64 (64 bit vesion)

Still using prime-indicator with nvidia-prime and nvidia-331 results in the same problem
