Just upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04. KDE Driver manager suggested to install proprietary drivers for Nvidia video card. I selected the recommended driver (331.38) and accepted. The driver manager started the installation process but hung on 81%, all I could do is to close it. After that dpkg database was left locked and inconsistent.
The process actually was waiting for a user's input. I figured that out when I later executed "sudo dpkg --configure -a". The driver installer showed the following prompt:
Configuration file '/etc/init/nvidia-persistenced.conf'
==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** nvidia-persistenced.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? y
I don't remember removing that file, but in any case the driver manager must handle such user input requests properly and not hang.
