There is a long standing bug between dkms, nvidia, and multiple 
kernel modules.  Go to launchpad.net and search for nvidia and 
uvm.  Apparently, it is just cosmetic for most people and will 
be fixed with a driver update to 340 real soon now.  If you 
are impatient and like mucking about with your computer try 
adding the PPA from,  
<https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia>.
