*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 76294 ***

Same thing happens to me basically every time I update the restricted
modules.  I assume the problem is that I use nVidia's proprietary
drivers, and the restricted modules seem to always overwrite them or
disable them.  Thus, when I update the restricted modules, KDE doesn't
start I'm stuck ata  command prompt.

To solve the problem I simply run "sudo envy" from the command line
(Alberto Milone's very convenient script, at
http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html) which automatically re-
connects to nVidia's server and gets the drivers again, if needed.  If I
already have the most up-to-date drivers it just sets them up again.
Annoying, but not I'm a little wary of getting rid of the restricted
modules because of the dependencies.
