OK, on Lucid, I just enabled the "proposed updates" in "Synaptic". I then selected to "completely remove" fglrx. Applied updates, which removed it. I then selected to install it. It worked after installation was complete and a re-boot.

This was my BRAND NEW System76 Serval Professional that I just received from UPS today. I got the broken update after booting it up and applying updates that were ready. WOW! What a kick in the teeth!

Thanks to all those, developers and everyone else, who found this problem so quickly and got the fix out there for people like me.

To the person who pushed the Kernel update with the symbol changed to GPL-Only: I hope you get crabs!

Just kidding. I actually understand the whole GPL-Only thing and support it! Even if it does burn me from time to time.
