Everytime the system update I can't access Unity 3d

Asked by Mudito

This already happened 3 times, the solution is to re-install manually the package from NVidia web site, but when a new Ubuntu update is released all that work is lost and I have to do it again.

More or less solved: removed NVIDA alltogether and reinstalled from "Adtional Drivers", before this procedure didn't work, now it did. But still, if anyone wants to use the latest provided by NVidia they will have problems everytime the system updates. I get the impression it is the kernel update which is screwing it.

Used the Additional Drivers function, this time it worked.
