[ubuntu-uk] comprehensively messed up by updates

[Rowan Berkeley]

I gotta tell you, this is worse than I thought. I set the update manager
to exclude "proprietary device drivers (restricted)" and allowed it to
download and install everything else, and it again totally screwed up
the machine, knocking out among other things the high-resolution
display, so I had to re-install the whole of ubuntu from the restore
disc all over again.
