Ubuntu 14.04 not logging in after NVIDIA update
I want to run a cuda program on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit, but the error i got was:
cuda driver version is insufficient for cuda runtime
So i downloaded nvidia driver from its official website. I couldn't install it properly, it displayed an error:
the distribution-provided pre-install script failed
However, I continued the installation. After reboot, any of the accounts is not getting logged in. I tried everything on these websites, nothing is working.

Look here to uninstall the NVIDIA driver you installed. Once that's done, reboot and login. Next, open Unity Dash and search for Additional Drivers. Let the list populate and choose the proprietary driver for your video card from here and click Apply Changes. That should install the NVIDIA driver for you.
