[SOLVED] Cannot start X

Hello people!

This morning I upgraded my system, then opened Blender (tried dofferent versions I have installed) and I got just the window frame for a few seconds and then it closes immediately.
So I tried rebooting and in the process of booting I noticed the nvidia persistence daemon unit has failed to start. Everything else is ok but the booting process doesn't lauch the graphical interface.

So I checked the nvidia-persistenced unit and I read: Failed to query NVIDIA devices. Please ensure that the NVIDIA device files (/dev/nvidia*) exist, and that user 143 has read and write permissions for those files.
I don't have these files and I don't know how to create them or why they're missing now and not before.

Then I tried to start X manually with "startx" and I got an error and X suggesting me to look at the log. It seems like it can't find any driver or device or screen to be able to run.
Here is the log:

I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver with GTX 750ti, one monitor.

Can anyone have an idea on what can I do to solve this issue?
Thank you very much!

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot start X

I looked at the link about the bug report and checked my linux-lts and nvidia-lts versions and they are the same as in the report.
I installed nvidia not lts driver, booted with linux not lts kernel and it boots ok.
Thank you very much!
