Tadiv,

The package "nvidia-glx-new" does not exist in Lucid, the nvidia drivers have a different name now.

I'm not clear where in the installation/upgrade you currently are. Perhaps you could uninstall nvidia-glx-new, then proceed with the upgrade and once in Lucid, reinstall nvidia through System / Admin / Hardware Drivers?

Best of luck,
George

This seems OK -- I found the menu.lst file (the installer put it on the wrong drive) and there is a good nvidia driver running...
