Oops, I did a ;

sudo apt-get purge linux-restricted-modules-common

Before I read this email. After rebooting all still seems well.

Here it is though;

I would imagine that a lot of people upgrading with nvidia cards would be
having this same problem? Well, maybe they will find this bug report and do a
purge on that package.

Now that I have everything working I am really loving this release! Thanks to
the whole team!

I know now as men accept the time clock of the wilderness, their lives become
entirely different. It is one of the great compensations of primitive
experience, and when one finally reaches the point where days are governed by
daylight and dark, rather than by schedules, where one eats if hungry and
sleeps when tired, and becomes completely immersed in the ancient rhythms,
then one begins to live. -- Sigurd Olson
