Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic
This morning Ubuntu upgraded to version 8.04.2. This included a kernel
upgrade to 2.6.24-23. After reboot, the xserver said it was running in
low graphics mode (800x600 I think). The nvidia driver (for GeForce 8400
GS) didn't appear in hardware drivers. Also, the speaker icon had a
cross in it, when clicked it said something about no devices.
I rebooted into recovery mode and ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. I
then booted normally and had the correct resolution (1440x900), but
hardware drivers still didn't have nvidia and sound still wouldn't work.
I rebooted and selected the previous kernel, 2.6.24-22, and everything
started normally, including sound. Hardware drivers had the nvidia
driver, which was deselected. I selected and now everything works as
normal, except I'm using the previous kernel.
I will have to manually select the previous kernel on booting until this
problem is fixed.
