Public bug reported:

When trying to install nvidia drivers in Ubuntu 9.10, whether through
envyng or Ubuntu's Proprietary hardware wizard, this error occurs.  When
ORIGINALLY installing the drivers, there were no errors.  After a couple
of days with no modifications, the computer would only boot into low
graphic mode and is returning these errors even after attempting to
purge all data/settings with $sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
