Comment 12 for bug 1365695

Trying the version 1:0.2.91.5 from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/1:0.2.91.5/+build/6043389 works in you download nvidia-commons and ubuntu-drivers-common and you install them with dpkg -i.

@Ingo Bürk can you try version 1:0.2.91.5 using:
sudo dpkg -i ubuntu-drivers-common_0.2.91.5_amd64.deb nvidia-common_0.2.91.5_amd64.deb
and report if it works for you? It works for me.

P.S. You cannot install 1:0.2.91.5 with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common=1:0.2.91.5 because it's not published anymore.

If you confirm that 1:0.2.91.5 works also for you, the problem can be triaged and we'll look in diff between 1:0.2.91.5 and 1:0.2.91.6.
