I've installed a fresh copy of the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, then i tried to install the prop. NVIDIA Drivers from the System. After rebooting my screen resolution dropped and i was not able to change it in the normal settings and i got the SAME bug like Ken.
Its was not possible to enter the Nvidia Settings menue and its was also not possible to adjust the screen resolution.

After installation and applying all available updates I went to "Additional Drivers" and installed the recommended Nvidia driver 304.131 As part of that install nvidia- settings version 352.21 was installed. When I accessed nvidia- settings I find the "menu" (left column) containing only: Application Profiles nvidia-settings Configuration. I had previously installed Ubuntu Mate 15.10 on the same PC (different hard drive) and installed the same Nvidia drivers. The same version of nvidia-settings was also installed. This time nvidia-settings lists: X Server Information X Server Display Configuration X Screen 0 X Screen 1 GPU 0 - (GeForce 6200) nvidia-settings Configuration The X Screen and GPU entries have additional options under each main topic. Please note that I already had two monitors configured as separate X screens on the 15.10 OS when I wrote down the above list. (Doing this added the X Screen 1 topic.) On the 16.04 OS I started over and reinstalled everything. Same issue. I installed the OS, added the repository ppa:graphics- drivers/ppa and installed nvidia-current. Based on the video card in my system the Nvidia driver 304.131 and nvidia-settings 352.21 were again installed and produced the same results. n.b. In an attempt to see what the "menu" looked like on 15.10 before I setup the separate X screens I uninstalled the Nvidia driver using the Additional Drivers feature - going back to Nouveau. I invoked nvidia-settings. In this case it showed only the two menu choices as described on 16.04. This makes me think that the Nvidia drivers are perhaps not really being installed on 16.04. Perhaps that will provide a clue. Please advise if I can provide any additional information.
