    That is good news. Enjoy it while it lasts. And when it stops working after the next update, remember these words:
    "Nvidia, fuck you!"

    @grubbering great it works for you.
    However in my case I was installing some icpns and themes and in next reboot it suddenly started to work
    As soon as I installed cuda, the Nvidia settings now had less error messages.

    @VTCoder that's normal :) i had fan issues, it was never stopping, had to properly install drivers, and finally found nvidia's PPA, it helped a lot, you hsould add it just in case

    @grubbering and shouldn't I must follow "if it works don't touch it rule"?
    Atleast in case of Nvidia?
    I want my system to reboot successfully next time.
