If you are still facing this issue, you can try re-installing the Nvidia drivers or though settings differ, take a back up of this file and try deleting the section Device and updating the section Screen.

HI.I’m kind of a newbie when it comes to computers stuff, but I got the same problem a few days ago when I ran the update manager. I found this forum, and followed the steps up to the editing of everything, when I noticed that I don’t have the same options.
Section “Screen”
Identifier “Default Screen”
Default Depth 24
EndSelection

Section “Module”"
Load “glx”
EndSection

Section “Device”
Identifier “Default Device”
Driver “nvidia”
Option “NoLogo” “True”
EndSection

Those are the options I got when I followed your directions in the terminal. Help please?

I have tried updating the drivers… But no vain ! It said already Nvidia drivers are updated on my machine. So, I have to settle down with this resolution. Hmm.. re-installation is also good idea.

The other solution is to simply re-install Nvidia drivers. Each time ubuntu gets updated and there is a change in Kernel version, you will have to re-install Nvidia driver to make it work. At least, thats what I used to do.
