Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-common
Upon upgrade from linux-image version 2.6.32-22.35 to 2.6.32-22.36, an
error was generated ("E: linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic: subprocess
installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2") and
the system stopped displaying information in windows (all windows came
up without any text, selection boxes, etc). Not even a terminal window
could be brought up. A hard reboot generated an error stating a recovery
of my root drive was necessary (which I allowed it to do). Upon further
inspection I found the error as stated in the auto-generated summary.
This is not the first nvidia-related error, and it may be related to a
previously fixed bug (# 573557) which failed to load the kernel on lucid
systems when there were two or more nvidia video cards installed on the
system.
Running the Update Manager or Synaptic Package Manager generated an
error stating dpkg exited with an error code, and instructing the user
to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a". The tail end is as follows:
