I tried with

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-kernel-common

but the fine ubuntu hugemetapackages&&weirddependencies system suggested me to remove all my restricted kernel modules.

So I ran

sudo vi /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common

and added nvidia to blacklist the restricted nvidia module.

Everything works fine now, btw.
