I booted to the rec con and this time an "apt-get -f something" fixed the
python problem of yesterday. So I was able to do the upgrades that were
still waiting.

But the boot hung at the same place in the normal boot, so I tried the
"nouveau.modeset=0" addition to the linux line. I typed Ctrl-X to boot, so I
guess that addition was implemented.

But it hung at the same place in the normal boot. In the rec con, "startx"
errored out with complaints about a driver (with or without xorg.conf).

Maybe I'll try the "sudo aptitude remove nvidia-current" from the Ubuntu
forums... maybe tomorrow. Or maybe I'll just forget about doing anything for
a while.
