Ubuntu 14.04/Trusty has reached End of Life (EoL) for standard support and the nvidia package is not included in the Extended Security Maintenance plan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/ESM/14.04#A14.04_Infrastructure_ESM_Packages
It looks like you are trying to use this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa They updated Nvidia-430 for Trusty a few days ago, as you said. It would probably have been better to contact the admin(s) of the PPA directly: https://launchpad.net/%7Egraphics-drivers/+contactuser But since you have already filled in the bug report here, I will subscribe the admins and see if there is any response/interest to this report. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887461 Title: nvidia-430 amd64 430.64=0ubuntu0~gpu14.04.1 broke xwindows on Ubuntu 14.04 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: when I did apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, I saw that nvidia-430 package had the version 64 update that was just released a few days ago. After installing it, my system wouldn't boot to xwindows. Failsafe boot to gui wouldn't work either The error messages looked similar to this bug report for nvidia drivers: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1752053 Here's what my xorg.[0,failsafe].log showed: [ 43.645] (++) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.failsafe.log", Time: Mon Jul 13 18:41:16 2020 [ 43.645] (++) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe" [ 43.645] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" [ 43.645] Parse error on line 7 of section OutputClass in file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf "OutputClass" is not a valid section name.

Section "OutputClass" Identifier "nvidia" MatchDriver "nvidia-drm" Driver "nvidia" EndSection basically, in the progress of filing this bug report, I downgraded to nvidia-418 and my system was about to boot again.
