Bug Description

When I try to install nvidia-340 or nvidia-346, machine freezes after start. In kernel log I see errors, see attached kern_log_part.txt file. Machine boots into text mode and after some time it probably tries to switch to graphics mode, shows black screen and freezes. I cannot switch back to console.

It seems related to this post: http://codeyarns.com/2015/03/30/nvidia-module-taints-linux-kernel/ but solution proposed there does not work for me.

nvidia-current (nvidia-304) works fine.

It seems, that I solved it by installation of 3.19 generic kernel. I didn't experienced this problem from its installation.
