[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu broken, low graphics mode, no sound

[David King]

I got the normal graphics settings back by reselecting the nvidia driver 
through the system settings, only for it to then remove about half my 
installed programs!!


Grrrr...

This is the first time I have had a serious problem with Ubuntu, and 
this is really annoying. Virtual Box has disappeared, for example, along 
with Compiz, although I reinstalled that.

When things like this can happen with an OS, I am reluctant to ever 
recommend it to anyone again unless this problem is prevented by being 
fixed asap.

I just hope it does not take too long to get my system back to where it 
was before when it was all working okay.
