When I have the nvidia graphics drivers installed. My computer just gives me the error Starting Light Display manager... and Deal with any system changes... link was shut down..... I have a lenovo thinkpad W540 with a Quadro k2100m. I am running ubuntu 15.04 and was trying to install the 352.30 drivers. What can I do to fix this problem?

lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
 Subsystem: Lenovo Device 221e
 Kernel Driver in use: i915
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Nvidia Corporation GK106GLM [Quadro K2100m] (reva1)
     Subsystem: Lenovo Device 221e
     Kernel driver in use: nvidia

I installed the drivers from the xorg-edgers ppa. I installed them with synaptic package manager.

Run in terminal

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 nvidia-prime
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

I hope this will fix your problem.
