Sadly, the best workaround is to uninstall the Ubuntu blessed nVidia drivers and use the installer you download from nvidia.com. These even continue to work after you update the kernel, usually. They are also way more recent.

  EVen so, this should be automatic. It is a horrible experience to install NVIDIA drivers on ubuntu. I am not sure the solution but we shouldn't sacrifice usability in the same of "open source"-ness. It should be a check box on install to install NVIDIA drivers that are propreitary such that we do not get a black screen. Anything but a black screen.
