I been using a test Xubuntu 12.04 LTS on my 64 bit workstation, because Ubuntu has dropped support for the nvidia graphic adapters my 10.04 LTS and I haven't been able to get them working.

Now update manager has upgraded the kernel from 3.2.0-30-generic to 3.2.0-31-generic, and failed to produce a working nvidia module that the X server can load.

Fortunately, when launching the 3.2.0-30-generic kernel, I still have use of the X server.

Does anybody know a work-around or fix for this?

I'm really worried, this is the last working Ubuntu distribution OS on the computer and I don't want to give up on Ubuntu.

Details of problem here.
