When I upgraded from NVidia 3.05 to NVidia 3.19, I lost my desktop.

I upgraded as the subject says and all I got was the commandline. I attempted to "startx" and got a bunch of error messages, basically I was not able to use the desktop.
I examined the error messages and found a lot of stuff referencing incompatibilities between 3.05 and 3.19. So, I checked the cache for anything about NVidia and then did an "apt-get install" etc. Installing most of the 3.19 NVidia stuff.
After that I was able to reboot into the desktop like normal.
There seems to be a problem with the upgrade of NVidia proprietary drivers.
Anyone interested in fixing that?
Thank you!

I just downgraded to 3.04, rebooted, upgraded to 3.19.32, rebooted. Other than sitting at the console login for 1.5 minutes (this happens when I make kernel/driver changes. Disk activity lets me know that kdm is still working on things), I didn't have any issues.
What would you like fixed?

Hmm... usually DKMS re-compiles nVidia modules before a reboot. Your description indicates something unusual is happening.

When a system change happens (I change kernel, I mess with efibootmgr or grub2 (update-grub), I update drivers, ect), the system then has to find and mount my cifs shares and find the network printer. Or, that's what the logs are telling me. Only happens the one time, until I mess with something else.
