    Was the nvidia from the repos or their site, and was it a partial update.

    Nvidia drivers from the ubuntu repos are all that should be used unless they don't work at all then with an understanding of this use.

    A partial update should never be run.

    There is a huge quality check, what is missing is the user understanding check, which I suspect is the crux of your problems.

    That being said, most upgrade problems I've seen on the forums come from one of two mistakes:

    1. Mixing third-party repos
    and/or
    2. dist-upgrade while in X
