Comment 2 for bug 1615248

Here's a workaround.

I have two nvidia directories under /usr/lib:

$ ls /usr/lib -l | grep " nvidia-"
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Apr 25 12:19 nvidia-304
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 25 10:32 nvidia-352

Removing the unused one fixes the bug. First, figure out which one you're using:

$ dpkg -l |grep ^ii| grep nvidia-[0-9]
ii nvidia-304 304.131-0ubuntu3 amd64 NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.131

Now, delete or rename any other nvidia-* directories (any that aren't the one in use):

$ sudo mv /usr/lib/nvidia-352 /usr/lib/old-nvidia-352

(I renamed mine rather than deleting it because I am extremely paranoid when it comes to mucking with video drivers in any way, but deleting it is probably totally fine, too.)
