Bug Description

I'm running the latest development release of 15.04.

I recently updated the software (on Saturday) and since then the proprietary nvidia drivers have been broken. The system start, but when I log in the system hangs and my desktop is not displayed.

The nouveau drivers do not have this problem (although they are rather slow on my dekstop).

Graphics chip is: GF108GLM [NVS 5200M]
