There is nothing I can do about this.

I put these instructions on my website:

C) What happens if I upgrade Ubuntu to a newer release (e.g. from Ubuntu Edgy to Ubuntu Feisty)?

You will only have to follow these steps:

1) Launch Envy and use the "Uninstall" function to uninstall the Nvidia or the ATI driver

2) Uninstall the Envy from Synaptic/Adept or from the command line

3) Set the driver back to either "nv" ( instead of "nvidia", if you use a Nvidia card) or "ati" ( instead of "fglrx", if you use an ATI card) in the Section Device of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf which you can edit by typing:
sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf

NOTE: press CTRL+X to exit (save the file)

4) Log out and press CTRL+ALT+Backspace (so as to restart the Xserver)

5) Log in and upgrade your Ubuntu installation

NOTE: if the Xserver crashes you will have to use "vesa" instead of "ati" or "nv"
