I also had problems upgrading to 8.04 from 7.10 and received update manager error message. Will try and figure out how to remove nvidia-glx - I am currently running the basic graphics and attempts to try and use better graphics options do not appear to be successful. That said, system is working fine at 1400x1050 in basic mode. Best, Hazard
