My Ubuntu installation asked me by 'synaptic' for an update of 64 packages who were ready to install
Just followed the suggestion (other times this was no problem)
--
Only next time i booted up there were 3 balck screens occuring and after that a message wich was (it was in dutch, so i will translate it but maybe it's not exact as it apears in the english version normaly)
I can't start the X-server, probably your configuration is damaged. Do you want to view the log from the X server YES / NO
The problem is that Ubuntu did break the program here and i end up in console, so no possible (by my tiny knowledge) to view X servers log.
(by booting in recovery mode there was nothing helpfull either,
just ended up the same way !!)

Below some info i gathered wich will hopefully give some insight for more knowledged people out there in what is wrong and how t resolve.
I did sudo dmesg to look at the boot.log for answers.......

23.06:34:704 [W] hald.c:302: Your kernel does not support capabilities; some features will not be available
--
in the logfile /var/log/Xorg.O.log the following messages poped up as some fault.
Fatal: module nvidia not found
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please, can anybody help me out (just hints etc), because i don't feel good about just giving up and simple reinstall everything, i want to learn but need just some help in this.
Besides that, isn't it stupid after all that a simple use of 'synaptic'and upgrade of a few programs damage you ssytem like this.
p.s. Synaptic gave one warning about mozilla 1.0.7 wich wasn't correct and skipped to upgrade
thankyou in advance
