After logging in to Ubuntu 14.04 with the Unity desktop, Jennings, a Lenovo K450E with an NVidia GTX 750 graphics card, would sometimes hang. The computer wasn’t locked up, just the desktop: the mouse would move and the TTYs were still fully functional, but the desktop would be blank. This has happened twice. Once it happens, it won’t work again. <\/p>\n

\nsudo service lightdm stop
\nsudo sh .\/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.24.run
\nsudo reboot
