Update NVIDIA Driver 304 to 319 - Troubleshooting

I updated the NVIDIA driver for my Ubuntu GNOME 12.04 LTS computer. After installing and upgrading to the new driver through System Settings and restarting the computer, I was not getting the login screen anymore but instead getting the tty1 login screen. Did a Google search and found the following solution (see link below). After applying this fix, I am now getting the login screen (LightDM).

dkms status
nvidia-304-updates, 304.88, 3.5.0-39-generic, x86_64: installed
nvidia-319-updates, 319.32, 3.5.0-39-generic, x86_64: installed

Delete previous module, and it work`s for me.

sudo apt-get purge nvidia-304 nvidia-304-updates
