Title:
  Regression: Kernel Update in 16.04 from last days renders nvidia
  driver unusable

Status in shim package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 16.04 since at least four months, always with the
  nvidia proprietary drivers (installed from the repository). I used
  nvidia-361 for a while with no issues (and i need it for steam
  gaming). However, an update installed on my machine yesterday breaks
  the nvidia drivers. I tried purging the driver, rebooting and
  reinstalling and i tried a newer version for the ubuntu-drivers ppa.
  Nothing helps: With the nvidia driver installed, i get a low-
  resolution login screen, but cannot login due to missing 3d
  acceleration. Running on nouveau works fine.

  This seems very strange to since everything worked until this
  afternoon. Yesterday, i was happily playing games on steam, installed
  some updates and now, my graphics are broken.
