Fortunately, GRUB found an old copy of 10.04 on another of the hard drives and I've booted into that.  13.04 is completely hosed.  Cannot (yet... I'm sure there are things I haven't tried) even get a command prompt to try to reinstall a kernel.  As far as I can tell, the attempt to install the next version of the kernel is has only made things much, much, worse.  
Would like to add the tag

kernel-bug-exists-upstream

but can't find the button to do so (possibly because this is version 8
of Firefox I'm using to post this).

Email is broken (it is on the boot drive I cannot load) so if anyone has
advice, please post here: and I would really appreciate some suggestions
as to how to get 13.04 working again.

Title:
  13.04 unity displays heashed output

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At some as yet undetermined user input, my screen 'hashes'...
  individual pixel lines become displaced by a few on a cyclic basis, so
  that the display becomes illegible.  Note that this is an AMD64
  machine with Nvidia graphics.  I also experienced a problem a few days
  ago with some windows appearing completely black, but only when 'on
  top': the problems may be related.

  I get internal crashes every few days that ask my permission to send
  off a bug report.  I checked the output of ubuntu-bug linux and it
  seemed to indicate that I am running Ocelot, while I am in fact
  running Ringtail.  These problems have only appeared with Unity under
  Ringtail.  None occurred with Gnome.

  Here is the diagnostic output.
