[Bug 1572275] [NEW] on Ubuntu server 16.04 and 14.04, the display stops working after installation

[Hooman Zamannejad]

Public bug reported:

The display driver for my Nvidia G-Force 5200 is not compatible with the original driver that was installed 
and I had no display on neither 14.04 nor 16.4.
I did SSH to my server and run these commands to install a new Nvdia driver 
in order to have display on the server:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

# install the latest version
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

And restart the server.
