12.04 update on 2012-12-22 updated the kernel to 3.2.0-35-generic and attempted to update nvidia driver to nvidia-experimental-310 310.14-0ubuntu0.1 but did not.
Update on 2013-01-06 update manager updated the kernel module to nvidia-experimental-310 310.14-0ubuntu0.1 but apparently did not update the actual driver, leaving it at 304.43.
So after the update, X fails due to kernel mod/graphics driver mismatch. This leaves me with only a console.
This system is a straight up install with Ubuntu provided proprietary nvidia drivers.
What do I need to do from console to get the client & kernel version to match?
