The way we determined it as an out of space issue, is Sarvatt reproduced
your problem on a USB stick by manually installing nvidia, and got the
error message that way:

<Sarvatt> Setting up initramfs-tools (0.98.1ubuntu7) ...
 update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
 lzma: Encoder error: -2147467259
 dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
 after sudo apt-get install nvidia-current from a terminal

He wasn't able to find the error message in any logs.  Typical places to
look would be /var/log/dpkg.log or the make.log (found a couple levels
deep under /var/lib/dkms).  You might poke around in your /var/log/ to
see if you can find an error message which indicates a problem other
than disk usage.

lzma error "-2147467259" means "no space to unpack the archive".  See
bug #562312 as another example.

There is a possibility that you're not actually truly out of space at
all, it's just that the installer *thinks* there's not enough.  Some
further analysis is needed to pinpoint the exact steps to reproduce the
issue.  If you could do some additional testing to identify the steps,
that'd help move things forward faster.
