-When I upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04, I was unable to log in. The machine started normally and I was presented with the login window. But when I entered my password, the screen went black for a few moments and then the login screen came back.

-Since I'm using an [NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750](http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750), which Ubuntu's Nouveau drivers don't support, I previously needed to install the NVIDIA graphics drivers.
-
-By entering <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>F3</kbd>, I was able to drop to a shell. When I checked `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`, I found a message stating that the NVIDIA driver had failed to load the GLX module, despite earlier messages that it had been loaded. The message also recommended reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
-
-In the same shell, I ran:
-
-{% highlight bash %}
-wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/349.16/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.16.run
-chmod u+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.16.run
-sudo service lightdm stop
-sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.16.run
-{% endhighlight %}
-
-After that, restarting my computer cleared up the issue.
