I am running 12.04 with 3.2.0-57-generic-pae
kernel on a Lenovo w520 that has a nVidia card in it.
I updated yesterday, (17,December, 2013), and the update included the following two nvidia updates:
nvidia-current-updates:i386 (304.88-0ubuntu0.0.3, 304.108-0ubuntu0.0.1)
nvidia-304-updates:i386 (304.88-0ubuntu0.0.3, 304.108-0ubuntu0.0.1)
The error message I see is the same as someone else posted on another forum:

The answer given to them was to run the nvidia-config
program and then restart the system.
I do not have an nvidia-config
utility on my system.
My question is how do I either back out these updates which caused the problem, is there another update currently available somewhere that will fix the problem, where can I get the nvidia-config
utility to hopefully correct the problem, or what can I do to get back to where I can use the system with X functional?
