I have the same problem on the 3.13 kernels. Everytime when I install a kernel update I get these errors. When I simply reboot my machine the kernel seem to be working fine as it should be.
The odd thing is that I'm using Kubuntu 14.04 now for some months and with Ubuntu I didn't had this messages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1370859 Title: Error!
