Bug Description
Until yesterday the 14.04 install on this Thinkpad T530 (nvidia Optimus) with nvidia-331 drivers worked just fine, including excellent multi-monitor behavior. Yesterday the set of packages below [1] was updated. I shut down, booted this morning and found out that I was not shown the lightdm login screen: I was stuck at the purple screen that precedes it (into which I enter my disk encryption password).
Now the funny thing is that I could hear the lightdm startup sound and could actually login by typing my password (disk activity and started processes verify I am actually logged in), but I can't see anything: I'm still stuck at the puple screen.
Uninstalling the nvidia drivers solved the problem: I'm typing this in a browser window using the nouveau drivers.
I atttempted switching to nvidia-304, but that doesn't work either. Using those drivers I am shown the lightdm login screen, but after logging in I'm stuck with a screen showing only the background image. Nothing else is available, no keyboard or mouse trickery will reveal any menu, dialog or terminal to gain access.
Since nouveau doesn't support a multi-monitor setup, it would be great if I someone could tell me how to get the nvidia drivers working again.
Some things I noticed:
- .xsession-errors reported 'Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"'
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log reported 'setversion 1.4 failed: Permission denied'

I am getting the same error since the update yesterday of ubuntu- drivers- common on my Thinkpad T530. I have a dock with 2 DVI, 1 VGA monitor hooked up. I also have one monitor hooked up via a display-port to hdmi cable coming from the laptop itself. It is the dock based VGA monitor that failed to be recognized.
Downgrading to ubuntu- drivers- common 0.2.91.5 fixed the problem.
