Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 576648, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

This bug is caused by upgrading your kernel to a version that the old Nvidia driver in Ubuntu 10.04 does not support. To avoid this bug you can either switch back to the kernel (2.6.32) that Ubuntu 10.04 shipped with, or upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version.
