After getting the latest updates in lucid, including the 2.6.32-20
kernel, and rebooting the machine, X only started in low graphics mode.
After I started to investigate it seemed like the nvidia kernel module
failed to build. I tried to reinstall nvidia-current (apt-get autoremove
nvidia-current, apt-get install nvidia-current) but it failed with the
following message.

root@thor:~# apt-get -f install

NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Error 1

If I try to activate the nvidia drivers using jockey-gtk or jockey-text,
I get the following error

root@thor:~# jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia_current

Searching for available drivers...

SystemError: installArchives() failed

Meanwhile, the proprietary nvidia drivers continue to happily work in
2.6.32-19 kernel. Only building the module for 2.6.32-20 seems to fail.

Thank you for your help. Please let me know if I can give you any more
relevant debugging information. This machine was upgraded from 9.04 to
10.04, for all that it matters.
