Bug Description

Recently on 'proposed' updates I seem to have got the 2.6.38-10 kernel, this broke the Nvidia driver (crash on updating), so back to older kernel, disabled the propitiatory driver and video then OK. Tried going to enable the propitiatory driver and apport crash report here was created.

$ lsb_release -rd
