Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I try to install linux-generic-pae for my 32-bit system that it have 4
GB of ram, but only use 3 GB with the current kernel.

When I start with the new kernel, the screen flicker quickly forever and
I cannot start Ubuntu. If I try with recovery mode I get start ubuntu,
but changing the Drivet to vesa on xorg.conf file.

When I install linux-generic-pae, the terminal show this fail message:
Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms
 * Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.31-14-generic-pae                            
 *  nvidia (185.18.36)...                                                                             nvidia (185.18.36): Installing module.
  Kernel headers for 2.6.31-14-generic-pae are not installed.  Cannot install this module.
  Try installing linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic-pae or equivalent.
                                                                                               [fail]
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common

I attach the previous Xorg.0.log before change to vesa.
