Not that I want to fill people's inboxes... but I also just upgraded to
the 3.13.0-45-generic #74 on a Xeon W3680 and GeForce GTX 650Ti and it went
through without problems. I looked through all my installed nvidia
packages prior to the upgrade (with an "nvidia" filter in Synaptic Package
Manager), and removed bbswitch-dkms which also removed nvidia-prime,
neither of which seemed relevant to my system.

I had a couple dkms warnings due to updating virtualbox, but nothing that
crashed or failed. On reboot the screens did take a little longer to come
up, but finally did to my original lightdm desktop. My current installed
nvidia packages from the SPM filter are:
dmraid
libcuda1-331-updates
libvdpau1
nvidia-331-update
nvidia-opencl-icd-331-updates
nvidia-settings
ubuntu-drivers-common

SPM and nvidia-settings reports a 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4 driver version.
I've not yet tried to force the 340.29 CUDA 6.5 driver (from NVIDIA
website) I'd like to be running, as the system seems happy for now.
