[rant]This is an old problem that seems to rear it's ugly head every couple of years...
I'm still using 9.10 for my daily because clearly, 10.04 isn't ready for the desktop. In my case - I did a fresh 10.04 install to a clean partition. Updated, added my personal tweaks. Got through a couple minor glitches. Most things seemed fine.
I was still using grub-pc 1.97 from karmic so I booted into the 10.04 install and did the grub-install thing to get to grub-pc 1.98 - all that went fine. Cleaned up my grub.cfg but while I had the 10.04 live I decided to check for updates - of course there were some as expected.
What I didn't expect was that updating the kernel wouldn't work as it has in karmic. Since Jaunty actually.
I came over to Kubuntu with Jaunty and since then - I've loved that jockey would install the latest nvidia driver into the kernel stack without any problems. In fact - it was amazing. Well, trying to boot to the new kernel in Lucid results in a xorg crash with the old driver not found error of years ago.
Sigh....
Yes I've read the posts and how to's and yes I could remove the nvidia driver, reconfigure to nv or nouveau, reboot, re-install the new kernel, reboot, re-install the nvidia driver...
...but I got used to it working as is does in karmic. So no new kernels for lucid until this gets fixed.
[/rant] Unless of course, someone knows why this is happening and how to fix it...
