That problem can be solved. Please open a new question for it though as the comment section is not the right place for follow-up questions or extended discussion. — David Foerster, May 16 '16 at 12:17

@loulid39 I don't know. Consider reinstalling. I really hate to say that but it looks like this is just way too beyond the scope here. We gave it a good try. If you are feeling adventurous and if it doesn't matter if you mess things up even further, you could try commenting out line 86 in /usr/bin/click and try uninstalling again. — mchid, May 16 '16 at 22:07

Use nano to edit your sources.list file:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Now use CTRL + K to delete all the lines in the file.

Next, place the following lines in the file:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse 
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner

Press CTRL + o to save the file, press CTRL + x to exit nano.

Run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-352

Reboot.

Please post any errors.
