[Bug 586142] Re: package linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[enaction]

Jeff, Many thanks for taking the time to check this out. On this 64 bit
computer I'm using a 64 bit dual boot grub with a 32 bit winXP OS
(shouldn't be a problem, right).  Yet rebooting from winXP to Ubuntu
seems to trigger the low graphics mode most every time which restarting
the x server seems to temporarily solve making it only a nuisance
problem. This doesn't normally occur when rebooting from Lucid with x
server loaded properly from the last reboot.

Seems the problem started with introduction of grub 2 (don't know).
During installation the initial 64 bit release of Lucid gave me a blank
screen necessitating changing the "silent splash" to "nomodeset" in
grub; an indication something is faulty.  On my end then there was
something buggy about the latest Lucid update in relation to my Nvidia
driver from the get-go down to the crash report generated when updating
to linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic.

Hope this info helps you guys in some small way.  - Dennis
