Bug Description
After update for HWE for hardware compatibility in future because my hardware would not be supported in future my nvidia graphics driver would not load and hence no xserver. I contacted nvidia and they are aware of the problem casued by ubuntu kernel update in 3.13.0. THey suggested I install the nvidia 304.xx package. so i removed the nvidia-173 drivers and installed the nvidia-304 package deb. I got a video back, but now I have lost the password synchronization from several accounts - spaecifically my admin account and working account. How do I fix this problem?
Additionally, this should not be happening. not that it will do any good here, but I must say, I am not ipressed lately with the amount of updates and security fixes. THis is getting worse than the Microsoft world. As well, I would not be having to know how to get around on the command line - very frustrating. Seriously, I have better uses for my time.
